Thanks to Kevin for the tip off,

Here's that big old KC-10 again in sunlight this morning. I'm not sure of the purpose of the trip exactly, but there were a large number of Dutch squaddies hanging around outside international arrivals as I went back out to the mound for a takeoff shot.

Yes indeed, and believe it or not the first DC/KC-10 I've managed to snap at Glasgow in all my years. Wish I'd had a camera in the good old B-Cal days though... :(

Too darn busy these days, I'll put a couple more shots on later. Didn't have time to wait for the EK 772 to leave or to witness Iron Maiden's lead singer playing with a 757 (lol).

Gotta pack now for a 5 day job in Newcastle... :eek:

Very nice, chaps. :D

I've always thought that DC-10s look good in grey.

Allen, I remember you said you'd not snapped one. Driving by this morning going to work I thought I'll text him, but guess what - just remembered there...
