I agree. Do you get info on the times and routes of low flying jets when departing Mull, Oban, or indeed Tiree, Wick, Benbecula and a host of other airfields with no radar? No you don't. Are they a bigger threat than Hercs? You bet. Max 2 pairs of eyes looking for you, maybe only one, cf at least 3 in a Herc. Hercs are massive - you'll see them as well as them seeing you. And they fly at half the speed of the jets.

Keep your eyes peeled and your fingers crossed
