Also today a US Navy Lockheed EP-3A “Aries II” (157316) departed from Souda Bay AB, Crete, made a surveillance mission somewhere over Central Mediterranean Sea off Libya (and probably also over Libya).

The Lockheed EP-3A is the signals reconnaissance version of the P-3 Orion, operated by the United States Navy
