A FLIGHT from Ayrshire's Prestwick Airport was raising eyebrows yesterday.
It was British Airways aircraft BAW1 which confused reader Charles MacLean, a reader of the Ayr Advertiser - who questioned the pilot's intentions when he viewed their flight path.
As the BA plane took to the air, they spent over an hour in skies to produce the "unique" flight path.
Sharing a screengrab of the map, MacLean asked: "What is Aircraft BAW1 planning to draw?"
While The Jouker won't be answering that question - we are glad the pilot opted not to circle around Annbank and Coylton on their way back to Prestwick.
The ironically named flight appears to have been a routine training/testing excercise from the airport, which the plane took off from shoortly before 3.30pm.
The Airbus A320-232 then landed around an hour and 15 minutes later.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
