CommentThis has all the makings of a 'big Albert' run : to Iraq via Israel stopping along the way in Jordan, Saudi or even Kuwait, land at Erbil (or Baghdad) and back to Akrotiri. A 'classic' pattern.
@ 16:45 UTC : Here it is scooting around.
@ 19:20 UTC : Looks like it's just hanging there but I think it's flying towards Al Minhad.
@ 21:36 UTC : In and out of Al Minhad.
@ 22:13 UTC : So now it's suddenly ZEUS.
