Here's to a great landing always

Hello Hello Hivians and Hivers

"A good landing is any one ye can walk away fae. A great landing is when they can use the plane again the morra!"

The above quote is an old Scottish aviation joke from the early days of flying at Prestwick Airport on the west coast of Scotland.

As you may know I live in Scotland, so I thought it was fitting to have a Scottish theme in todays post on Airplanes.

Well thanks to the weekly contest from @qurator I can show you our local Scottish airline.
