What a week it has been for military movements at LMML! Following a return visit by the first operational Brazilian Air Force KC-390 (read the story here: Embraer’s Finest Passes Through LMML!), on its way back to Brazil following its participation in Dubai Air Show 2019, two exotic visitors decided to grace our airport with their presence during this week.
The first visitor consisted of a Royal Oman Police Casa 235, on its way back home to Oman following maintenance at Airbus maintenance plant in Seville. It stopped in Malta for a night stop on the 26th November prior to proceeding on its journey the following morning. This was the air frame’s second visit at LMML following a similar visit in 2017 when it was routing from Oman to Seville at that time.
On the same day, also from Seville, a CASA C-295W landed in Malta for a night stop. This CASA is the second and last example of the type being delivered to the Royal Thai Army. It sports a mixed green-brown glossy livery making it stand out beautifully in the Maltese autumn sun. Similarly to the Oman CASA, it landed on the 26th and departed the following morning headed for Thailand.
