May 2nd:
10.48 FAF7826, 2 aircraft, sq 3226, diverting to Luqa AP, short on fuel
13.33 departure 1 aircraft Luqa AP as FAF7832, sq 5262
14.57 FAF7831, 1 aircraft, req. startup at Luqa AP. 15.15 departure, sq 5254
14.55 FAF7402 (2 Rafales according to Malta ATC). Will be joined by FAF7831 from Malta, to form a flight of 3 back to LFKS (Solenzara). Malta ATC mentions FAF7831 as a Mirage.

So are you sure they are the same flight? FAF7826 and FAF7831/32?
If not, when they landed Malta? They must be diverting flights and using tactical c/s when landing Malta.

I have a correction, DUMBO is a KC130H but not USN, is the callsing for SpAF Hercules tanker recently assigned to Unified Protector.
