While down at Prestwick this morning, the rumour mill was working away and most of it revolved around how many aircraft were scheduled for COP 26 and where they were going to be parked up..
The current majority rumour seems to be that there are a total of 46 aircraft currently booked, that is between Glasgow, Edinburgh and Prestwick. The rumour mill has come up with the majority of the Business Jets will be Edinburgh bound, the big stuff will be at Prestwick and the intermediate stuff and some of the larger stuff at Glasgow.
It seems that there are according to the rumours some 28 aircraft booked in for Prestwick at the moment, but then this is all rumour – so I guess that we’ll just have to wait and see.
There was also some debate as to whether Air Force One would be at Prestwick, with Air Force Two at Glasgow as a contingency – or would they both just park up at Prestwick and POTUS 46 would slum it with the VH-80N “White Hawk” of HSX-1.
There should obviously be a number of logistical flights pre COP 26, with a number of logistical flights after the event.
At any rate, these were today’s rumours from the mound – more info the next time I get bushwhacked by a secret squirel.
