EGWU 24.11.2019 C-17A

Post by Le Addeur noir »

Re the C-17A move on the 24th,

Negative, the 'G' is the first letter of the ICAO location indicator, i.e. GMME an in Morocco.

ZZ177 departed Brize on the 23rd mid-morning as RRR6882 ( refer to the BZZ spotter's blog)

I first 'saw' this flight when it was in the 'teardrop' inbound Northolt on ADS-B , used when flights come off Compton or Biggin. I'm sure it will become known where this Globemaster came from in time....

QED, capital city is Freetown, and their airport is ICAO GFLL.

Not the first C-17 aeromed with those suffering from Ebola into Northolt, and at obscure hours as well.

This should kill off the conspiracy theories.
