The US military aircraft boarded by antiwar protestors at Scotland’s Glasgow-Prestwick airport was a C-130 from the Delaware Air National Guard. Various news reports say no US personnel were on board the cargo aircraft at the time of the “attack.” At lease one Scottish radio station reports that security for the aircraft was in the hands of airport officials. It was the third successive penetration at the airport by the group known as Trident Ploughshares, of which British officials arrested 17, reports the Scotsman.
