CommentKC2 on a regular CBOW mission over Iraq with two Eurofighters. What was slightly unusual is the length of the mission overrunning the usual 4 hours by well over an hour and the fact that only one Eurofighter returned with it from the mission. These peculiarities are probably related as one Eurofighter pealed off and landed somewhere locally. Maybe they all had a quick stop. It has happened before that one Eurofighter stays behind like ZK350 in this case.
