This night we’ve tracked a new USAF flight departed from Ramstein AB, Germany, and directed to Libya.

The aircraft, a Boeing C-17A (07-7183) left the German airbase at 20:30 CEST.

The aircraft follow one of usual routes used for flight to Libya and the signal was lost (ADS-B transponder switched off?) south of Malta when the aircraft was flying eastbound.

The signal was lost at 23:00 CEST

The signal was again received at 03:50 CEST south of Sardinia when the aircraft was returning to Germany

The aircraft landed in Ramstein around 05:50 CEST.

We dont’ have the full track but we can suppose that the aircraft landed somewhere in eastern Libya (Benghazi?).
