CommentNavy KC-130 adding to the fuel flying over Iraq. I suppose the K35R has its clients, the MOJO a different type of client as well as the KC-130, each their own. Whatever the case that's a lot of fuel and this, one presumes, means a lot of clients too.
It looks like CREEP is just there to pump gas. It landed at massive Al Asad Air Base and now is flying to Erbil.
It keeps doing interesting things this CREEP. It's flying towards the Syrian border -- now flying parallel to it in fact at a very low altitude (5,000 feet). And then it disappeared...into Syria ?
Returning to base after an interesting mission.
