A US Air Force C17 plane has declared a mid-air emergency while flying over Scotland.
The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III took off from RAF Brize Norton in Oxfordshire at around 9.15am today.
During the journey, the plane squawked a 7700 code, which immediately alerts Air Traffic Control to an aircraft in distress.
Flight tracking website, Flightradar24 showed the aircraft declare a general emergency while south of New Cumnock, Ayrshire.
Although there was no set destination on the site for some time, the plane appeared to be circling over South Ayrshire for a while.
Aircraft and Satellite Tracking SkyScanWorld say there was a landing gear issue, which caused the aircraft to declare an emergency.
The aircraft has now safely landed at Prestwick Airport.
