An F16 fighter jet, flying from Germany to the US, was involved in an emergency landing at Prestwick Airport on Sunday 9th January.
The jet, after suffering a fuel leak, was forced to land at the Scottish airport.
Prestwick Airport, in line with its emergency response programme, immediately contacted local Fire, Police and Ambulance services. The F16 jet landed safely, alongside another F16 jet which was accompanying the fighter jet.

Airports information blog is taking a welcome rest over the Christmas period and will be back with you on Tuesday 4 January 2011.
As this is the last post of this year, I’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a very happy New Year. Thank you all for following and thanks for all your comments.
For those of you still struggling to get flights in to or out of the country, the advice remains the same: if you have any questions about the status of your flight check with your airline. Your airline is totally responsible for your flight – there’s a previous blog post here with airline contact information and snow alerts.
Ideally, check your airline’s website before calling – phone lines are busy and I’ve heard from some of you that have been waiting as long as five hours to get though.
Check the online departures board of your airport to find out the status of your flight or even try the arrivals board on the website of your destination airport.
Many airlines now use Twitter as a means of answering passengers’ questions, so try this contact method too.
Have a great Christmas and a very happy New Year, I hope you all get to where you’re meant to be in time for the celebrations,
Paula
