The 4 scheduled flightplans to BGBW are no longer visible.

There have been flightplans on both Saturday and Sunday, but both have been cancelled. For today (just checked), no flightplans either in the systems (afaik).
EDIT: Also for today no action whatsoever! Looks like they're stuck at Goose Bay for the time being!

It looks like the weather has cleared up/maintenance has been done/things have been repaired (whatever is applicable).

The Israeli's are on the move again today. Hopefully they will make it this time. When they can continue today till Iceland, their stopover at either Oostende or Antwerp could be Saturday evening.

Just to finish this sequence; currently the Israeli T-6's have been logged by SBS somewhere over Italy.

Now let's wait for the next batch of Iraqi's supposed to be delivered at the end of January if all goes on as planned.
