As I observed an US C-21 today also using an OAN-call, someone shine a light on usage as such?
Thnx

A bit off googling came up with :
How does it work?

NATO’s Rapid Air Mobility (RAM) initiative establishes a special NATO call sign (“OAN”) for any aircraft designated by NATO's Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe (SHAPE) for crisis deployment through fast-track flight planning and airspace handling. The Standing Joint Logistics Support Group at SHAPE monitors and coordinates Allies’ strategic movements.
When an aircraft is allocated the OAN call sign, the European aviation system recognises it as a priority and removes military airspace capacity restrictions for the dedicated flights. These OAN flights receive priority routing through the airspace over Europe.

NATO worked closely with all the Allies and with the European Organisation for the Safety of Air Navigation (EUROCONTROL) to ensure the process is safe and effective. The OAN call sign allows EUROCONTROL to remove flight restrictions and coordinate with the relevant air traffic controllers along the flight path, enabling a faster response.

Nato E3 have also used OAN4* callsigns during the last months.
