Taxiing out for Rwy 30. In the back you will notice black storm clouds, actually these thunderstorms were some of the worst ever, which hit the LA area with flood and even hail.

Three Royal Air Force Jaguar's visited Prestwick this day and all departed in early afternoon from runway 31. As the Jaguar was taxiing out for departure a brand new KLM 777 that was crew training had lined up on the runway ready for takeoff.

Climbing out after a Rwy 34R departure. Note the lack of winglets on the -400D series. Their weight penalty exceeds any aerodynamic benefits on a typical short Japanese domestic sector.

This brand new 777 came to Prestwick for a days training starting just after 9am and finishing about 6pm. During this time there were numerous full stop landings after usually three touch and go's so that crews could be changed over as the KLM pilots were training on the type. Only their first aircraft, PH-BQA was in service.
