Mediterranean airborne activity today.

I've been home all day nursing my very sick partner, so between temperature checks and medication, I've been looking at flight radar.
The Mediterranean is really busy. Followed an RC-135V out of Crete "Homer23" which spent most of the day flying a race track over the sea between Cyprus and Egypt. He was joined for a while by a Poseidon for an hour or two.
Also spotted an RAF Typhoon and a KC-2 tanker going to Cyprus. Three KC-135s operating in Saudi, with a combined airframe age of 179 years!.
Numerous C-17s ex Germany going to and from Jordon. There are still 2 Poseidon working now.
I'm pretty sure there will be others that won't show up on the flight radar site. I was amazed that the RC-135 was visible...but maybe it was meant to be

Must go, have to do my nursing rounds.

This is interesting, 3 Il-76TDs out of Moscow, working for the "Ministry of Emergency Situations" going somewhere.

This is odd answering my own posts ...but I thought you might be interested, those Il-76s are going to Cairo.
