Three French Air Force tankers are in flight over central Tyrrhenian Sea southbound.

Two Boeing C-135FR (reg. 497, 738 – callsign FAF4054/5) and an Airbus A332MRTT (reg. 042 – callsign FAF4056) left Istres AB, southern France, around 08:30 CET.

The 2 C-135FRs made an aerial refueling west of Corsica probably with fighters that they’re dragging to the Middle east.
