Israel autumn 2017: again a Blue Flag exercise...

[andrewn]

FAF (Adel´A) 4050 tail 738 according to ADSB just turned back near Crete (after presumably offloading a package of Mirage 2000s) The Polish also pinged, 4056 and 4062 (flights). Another Italian 767 into LLOV today, MM62229, but I didn´t "hear" the Panavia MRCAs.
Some more F-16s are due in LLOV Wednesday.

Italian and French fighters heard transiting Nicosia FIR, details exactly as stated above

[Mr.Herkybird]

Expected tomorrow in addition to the two RJAF C130´s today, Casa295 RJZ353 at 14.16z.

Some questions/corrections

[Starman]

The festivities may be over with the J10 airlane open again, an Adle'A KC135FR (735 on ADSB) & an AMI B767 (MM62226) have both passed over LLBG before turning South for Ovda.
A 5th French 2000D is reported by 4Avn as 341/3JW.
