We have recorded ~40 C-17A “Globemaster” flights from Continental US (CONUS) into the Middle East, in addition to 2 C-5M “Super Galaxy” flights, including yesterday’s.
The stream of C-17s into the Middle East indeed started on Jan. 18, particularly to Muaffaq al-Salti Air Base in Jordan, which by far has received more than %50 of the flights, roughly 23 ones, with most of them originating from UK’s Royal Air Force (RAF) Mildenhall Air Base.
The stream of C-17As into Jordan (at the time of writing this) dropped on Jan. 22, but there is still some C-17s heading to Muaffaq al-Salti. (#Pic1 & #Pic2). The focus notably turned towards Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia and Ali Al-Salim in Kuwait.
