CommentThis is the one they should give the OLIVE callsign.
I don't know if it still looks like this today but it's a silly colour. The only place you see olive-green around here is in a plate of -- the right -- olives. Flying out to places that are mostly deserts it sticks out like an olive on a slice of feta.
@ 20:14 UTC : Returning to Akrotiri from the Saudi capital and the curious air base at its center.
@ 22:42 UTC : Descending toward Akrotiri while all other Aktrotiri are also nearing home.
