CommentMore Muscat traffic. I saw it getting ready to leave at Akrotiri but then it disappeared only to reappear as it is about to land in Muscat.
@ 14:43 UTC : It's been moving around : from Muscat to Duqm in Oman and now to Al Minhad, the RAFs home away from home -- BZZ and/or AKT.
That's some distance in very little time.
Too little time ! This makes much more sense : it didn't land at Muscat, it was taking off from Rustaq. Flew to Duqm and now is about to land at Al Minhad. That's still a quick turn-around at Duqm but not impossible as opposed to the previous scenario.
@ 20:56 UTC : Landing in Akrotiri.
