Busy afternoon at Sigonella

After a mission of about six hours over the western Mediterranean, an RCAF Lockheed CP-140 (reg. 140114) returns to the Sicilian airport. We do not know where the aircraft operated precisely because, having passed the Sicilian channel, it switched off the ADS-B transponder

There was also intense activity by the USN Boeing P-8A: while one Poseidon is returning from a routine mission over the Black Sea, a second is already in the air to carry out a similar mission. It is not often that the presence of P-8As over the Black Sea area is so constant
