Cool shots!

Wonder if any A380’s will fit into PIK?

I think there’s taxiway issues to be dealt with, but not a problem otherwise ?

Is Prestwick a major freight centre or something????

In a word yes, it’s popular with freight companies because of the long runway, good climate, relatively free of commercial traffic, easily accessed by road hauliers and near to major motorway and sea port links.

Is Prestwick a major freight centre or something????

Prestwick has more schduled 747F’s than any airport in Scotland, in fact more than most airports in the UK. Cargolux, Polar, Atlas, Air-France, Global Supply Systems, Evergreen International are all in a few times a week and thats before you count the Russians with their Antonov’s 🙂
