Visit to Prestwick to catch two jumbos departing at 4am.

National Air Cargo 747-428(BCF) N949CA
'Camber 12' pushed back from Stand 7 and starting engines at 04.03am. Fuel stop en-route from Dover AFB to Incirlik Air Base, Turkey.

Image
Silk Way 747-4R7F 4K-SW800
'Silk Line 4157' pushed back for a runway 13 departure. Arrived from Baku around midnight and departed to Luxembourg at 04.15am.

I slept well today after getting home at 5am :D

Cheers! They do sound amazing!! :clap:
I shot it at 02:15 when it was starting up but light wasn't as good as the 744's with the tail well lit but none hitting the nose :cry:

It didn't even stop on the runway kept creeping forward so no chance for a shot :grr:
