CommentReturning with TUAF598 from Azerbaijan. Most likely making a delivery. There are also two Turkish C130s making their way back from Azerbaijan, from UB14 in the center of the country rather than UB12 on the coast near Baku.
@ 16:05 UTC : Taking off from Çiğli barely having landed there. What is it with these quick turn-arounds we see everywhere these days ? Probably flying home to Kayseri.
TUAF598 is sitting on the runway having just landed but for all we know it too could be there just for a touch-and-go stop.
The two C130s also first stop near Izmir so maybe the two missions are somehow related.
