Title: G-KARE - PC-12
Post by: TCX49 on July 02, 2020, 05:24:23 PM

Just noticed G-KARE - PC-12 coasting in from Prestwick landing at a private site. Looks like its near Cushendun/Cushendall area up the north-east coast. Any idea where it landed?

If you look on google maps for a village called Buckna, it`s to the west of the village, south of the A42 Carnlough Rd,that`s where the airfield is---it`s about 7 miles from my house. :)

This is it - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=teDh7g6PvLg

Some strip for a private setup! It was the inaugural flight today so some poor souls must be jetting in for some relaxation at the Buckna Spa.

It landed initially at about 1230 local time and was with Aldergrove on 128.500 throughout.
