I heard it but was stuck in a conference call so missed it
Really clear skies too so would have been a great photo opp
It actually flew in to Prestwick on Wednesday night (as per plane spotters thread) to pick up an engine part bound for Helsinki then back out to Manchester today to pick up a heavy load for Cuba via Gander in Canada.
...btw that thing usually has a crew of 4 to fly it!
