On March 1st Omni Air N342AX on contract to the US military refuelled at Shannon, coming from Indianapolis. It flew on to Sofia Bulgaria, and from there to Kuwait and Al Udeid US airbase in Qatar. It returned via Sofia on March 2nd and landed at Shannon again at 22.00 on its return journey to the US. 

On arriving at Shannon it had the call-sign CMB (Camber). This indicates it is operating under the US Transportation Command, carrying military cargo or personnel.

It took off at 01:40 (March 3rd) and flew back to the US. This time it had call-sign OAE322.

It's journey took it to Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport, then Indianapolis International Airport, then El Paso International Airport, and then Perot Field Fort Worth Alliance Airport. All in less than 21 hours.

And now, at the time of posting, its heading back east.

This plane may have been providing direct or indirect support to the Israeli genocide against the Palestinian people and Israeli illegal occupations of parts of Lebanon and Syria.

A US Air Force Boeing 737 C40B probably on diplomatic mission also landed at Shannon at about 18.10pm, on March 3rd. We were not able to track where it was coming from except we know it was in the Middle East area on March 2nd.
