Saw it fly over my house a few days ago, apparently it will be doing everyday or something at around 12:20am which is obviously about the time I saw it. It was gliding really slow, must of been waiting for a slot to land, I got a video of it but it looks crap on my phone.

Aye, it lands daily at 12:25pm and takes off at 14:10pm. However, todays has been delayed by like 4 hours because it had a hard landing in the wind after having to do a touch and go so theyre checking it over
