Tripoli calling (again)

Share

For three consecutive days we have tracked a French Air Force mission off Libya: after the missions on Thursday and Friday also this night a French mission was done off Tripoli.

Around 04:30 AM CET a French Air Force Boeing C-135FR (471) left Istres AB in the southern France. After 2 hours of flight the aircraft is arrived off Tripoli where circuited for 2 hours.

The Stratotanker landed in Istres AB around 10:15 AM CET.

It was the only aircraft tracked in this area but certainly  the C-135FR was not alone and we can suppose that it was supporting other other French aircraft operating somewhere over central Mediterranean Sea or, more likely, over Libya.
