Comms failure. Airport in lockdown, surrounding roads closed and massive police response including firearms and dogs.

Dogs
Must be serious if they have called the dogs out 🐶

The linked tanker just passed very near to FR4382, both in the 27,000s - is that normal? I thought there had to be more gap than that.
ETA sorry, forgot we weren't in Spotters [blush] Oh...and now we are! |
Broken radio.
Aircraft performs landing. Non event? |
BBC: Prestwick Airport also remained open throughout, and a Ryanair passenger flight to Malta took off a short time after the Italian plane landed.
Sounds hugely sensationally undramatic. |
C-27J - a civilian aircraft?
I thought these were military transports.
Anybody know who the operator was? |
