|
|
Hi Guys n Gals,
we've got a new scheme at the local airfield where visiting military aircrew are provided with lunch, from the cafe, which makes for a good excuse to pop on down!
Today we had an RAF Puma, call sign Vortex 10 come in for fuel, for the crew and the aircraft. I watched the fuel pump working hard for yonks, until she was full - taking over £600 of Jet A1 (which is about 69p per litre.
Anyway here's a shot of the beast on finals.
Then with three sets of eyes checking for obstructions.
They're a big beggar on the ground.
Then giving me a wave, whilst I was stood on the Control Tower.
Nice to see one of these fine, well used machines, popping in. They were scheduled to fly for 4 hrs today so I wonder how much they spent on fuel for the whole trip? _________________ Kindest regards
