    They seem to get a really different lot of aircraft up there not like Heathrow or Manchester that just get the same aircraft every day !! I work at Brisbane airport and we love it when something unusual comes to visit our cameras/phones are at the ready !!

    Great catches!!! Wonder if the hawks were playing cat'n'mouse exercise with the Phoon? Didn't realise Qatar still had A340's! The AN12 was a good catch, I think they're a bit of a regular appearance at PIK. Should be down in September for the airshow 👍

    • @aviationin4k258

      Thanks man, the Hawks were heading home back to the U.S I think via PIK. The Qatar A340 is a government jet too. And it was very nice to see the AN12. I hope you enjoy the air show!

    Hi there, I have a question. Do you think Prestwick airport would be worth visiting? Thanks

    • @aviationin4k258
      @aviationin4k258  7 місяців тому +1

      Hi Rob. Yes. Prestwick is very well worth a visit. Although it’s not the busiest airfield, the variety of unusual movements is arguably the best anywhere - cargo planes like Antonovs, 747s etc and a variety of military planes - both fast jets such as the typhoons and military transport jets like USAF C17s and KC135. Even had a Boeing 707 and a DC8 in the last month or two. Finally it’s also a popular base for circuit training for many U.K. airlines. Hope that helps

      @robmcgregor_2024 5 місяців тому +1

      Hi, thanks for replying back to me I appreciate it. It does sound like Prestwick airport would be an interesting and exciting airport to visit. I was thinking of trying to visit Prestwick airport one day as I've seen other videos on UA-cam of what kind of aircraft you can get at Prestwick. I would love to see a Boeing 747 up close at Prestwick, that would certainly be amazing! Do you know how often Prestwick airport gets military aircraft? Thank you.

      Lucky to see this Qatar aircraft! It’s a rare bird.
      It’s a special Amiri VIP group of 12 Aircraft operated by Qatar. They have a 340-200 plus a 340-300 and a 340-500
      Also two 330-200
      They also run two 747-8
      And 5 single aisle Airbuses.
      The 340s of the regular Qatar Airways fleet got retired in 2019.

    If your title Hawk T1s means the same as the RAF used Hawk T1s - then these Hawks aren't T1s. They have a different nose shape and T1s can't use external fuel tanks, they don't have the fuel pipes and underwing fuel connections for fuel tanks. I'm not sure what Mk they are maybe Mk51s?

      It looks like the PC12s featured here were on delivery flights.
