E-3 AWACS over Glasgow 19/sept 14.20
Blimey!
being near to both Glasgow and Preswick airports we never, ever, get military A/C fly over us.
it was flying quite low, heading north-west(ish), radar-thing turning happily.
any exercises on at the mo or just just someone bored/lost?
nice to see anyway...

You can guarantee he wasn't bored or lost. He's there for a reason, not one known to me unfortunately. My best guess is he's on a training flight.
And in that area, you see more military aircraft than you probably realise. Don't just think in terms of pointy and fast!

It was probably ensuring the safe passage of a C-17 load of cluster bombs into Prestwick, routing from the USA to Tel Aviv; and in the opposite direction, a C-17 load of unlawful combatants routing from somewhere in Europe towards the Halal Carribean Holiday Island!

Have just landed from said sortie. Glad to hear that the appearance of an unglamorous E-3D can brighten someone's day. Just a trg flight I'm afraid, but may the conspiracists imagine all they want! We visited Newcastle earlier in the afternoon as well.
