CommentBiggles off on the second CBOW mission of the day with the Jetsons : ZJ950 and ZK349.
@ 19:16 UTC : Again close to the Syrian border like on its previous run earlier today. No doubt because 60-0343, a K35R from XJD, is flying a holding pattern in CBOWs usual sport West of Erbil.
@ 20:48 UTC : CBOW stays on the Syria border at times apparently crossing into Syria rather than take it's usual spot West of Erbil now that the K35R is gone. It's almost as if they want to give the TB2 over Mosul, West of Erbil all the room it may want studiously avoiding it as it pounds the area. "Dropi !", as 'we' say in Greece.
@ 22:52 UTC : Returning to base with the same team that went in and that's all I'm going to say about it.
