CommentA new -- to us -- C17. Is it coming this way or continuing on straight that way to Afghanistan ?
Well, that settles that : it's going that way. Recently the ReaCH flights going that way have been flying around Turkmenistan. Surely that cannot be to throw trackers off the sent. Did they loose the right to fly through Turkmen air space ? Silly, what about all the CMBs pseudo and otherwise ? Or is this just singing to the choir : the Turkmen govt trying to convince naive onlookers they've mended their ways and are suddenly 'neutral' ?
