The civil(ish) side of things.
Saturday did see a very busy day for charter flights into Fairford – some i got pics of, and some i didnt, simply because they were parked too far away.
Heres my pictures from yesterday (Saturday) — Should any of you want to see the military pictures from yesterdays show please click on these links:

Just lacks some windows 😉 It is used as a navigator trainer, role given awway by its home base, Randolph AFB.
By the way, the Twin Pioneer visible in one picture is way more interesting… Even if it is ugly !

AWESOME pictures!!!!!
Question though: What series Cessna is that in your second picture? It looks like a turboprop version of the Cessna 404 Titan (the elevator is placed higher than others that I’ve seen). Also, is that a US Air Force logo on the side of the nacelle?
It’s a Cessna 406 Caravan 2. That one belongs to the French Army , so I doubt it’s a USAF logo.

I like this DC10 tanker.
I have a question for you guys.
Are the miltary jets subject to noise regulation when they “visit” a civil airport?

That TwinPin was parked outside my office windows the other day. They had a lot of trouble starting the left hand engine…took about five minutes. The right hand one was burbling away quite happily….lovely sound

Very nice Andy, love the close-ups on the 744 and the KLM F70! Shame not many of the charters were there on Friday, was the Jet2 there yesterday?

Nice shots….love the self launching sailplane / glider
Not too sure about the nosewheel mod on the Jumbo tho’
Haven’t seen a three wheeler tug before. Is it something new or am I seriously out of date ?
