9.39 Gold31 (KC-10A 305 AMW) dir. ARLOS (confirmed as C10 with 6 F16's), 10.10 to Athens 124.625
Marco,
Gold 31 had nothing to do with Libia.
As far as i can see Gold31 was the tanker for Mazda81/86 (Mazda87 was spare, and returned to Aviano. Both Gold and Mazda are wellknown ferrycallsign's for US deployments to the USA, mideast /afgahanistan etc.
I also heard Mazda 97 just returning to Aviano, so there was a 2nd cell of Mazda91/96 going the same way as Gold31, this was supported by Gold41.
Gold41 is at this moment switching from Athina control to Cairo control, so they are heading to the middle east.
