A bit of a road trip to Shannon to get the WP-3D Orion of NOAA did a few engine runs but never flew

quite day but some nice light looks like another 525 mile round trip maybe required

brilliant shots Paul despite the lack of air under the wheels, better luck for that if you make a return trip

Shame the P-3 didn't fly, but nice to see it anyway. Good shots of the other stuff, and interesting to see the Sun Country 737 - is that whisking holidaymakers across to Florida perhaps, or was it in for maintenance/painting?
