Flightradar24 is tracking an aircraft marked as Kenyan Air Force Alenia C-27J (222) departed from Istanbul southbound.

But its hexcode (C9D52F) is this one of a Turkish Air Force Lockheed C-130, the aircraft that made the flight Istanbul-Misrata-Istanbul on Thursday and Friday.

So in all likelihood this aircraft is the Turkish Air Force Lockheed C-130E (71-01468) and probably is making a new flight to Misrata.


UPDATE – 18:45 CEST

A second Turkish Air Force Lockheed C-130E (63-13188) is leaving Istanbul, also the destination of this aircraft should be Misrata.

Now we’re tracking two Turkish Air Force Lockheed C-130E (71-01468 & 63-13188) probbly directed to the Libyan city.

  • On 21 May the flight was using callsign TUAF222 so FR24 is likely confusing it as the Kenyan Spartan. I too was very intrigued. Turkey are helping the LibGov with Covid Aid but also they have deployed drones in Libya.
