Buzz - the flight path normally doesn't take you as far north as Loch Lomond, even if you are on the South Westerly runway - I wonder if something else happened in order to put them over there?

I've only been on the Vomit Comet the once, from Campbeltown to Glasgow, and we bounced on landing. The pilot joked with us all that "It wasn't the co-pilot's first landing, honest."

On a good day the view of Kintyre must be stunning. Sadly it was January when I went and couldn't see much at all.

Buzz - I wasn't doubting your story, I was just wondering if they had any other issues with the plane that might have taken them a different route?

PS. It doesn't matter where you're arriving into Glasgow from. You're either going to approach from the South West over Troon and in over Newton Mearns, or from the North East over the Campsies and in over Milngavie - and this is the case whether your coming from London, Chicago or Barra. Trust me, I have the unfortunate pleasure of landing in Glasgow at least 3x a week :(
