🇳🇪- A DHC-6-300 Twin Otter (reg. N92FE | ACBC53) of US military contractor "Berry Aviation" is on approach to Niamey airport from the US Air Base in
#Agadez
. On board is a 🇺🇸soldier who is being medevaced to Ramstein AB via Niamey with the C-17A that landed there today.
Based on ACARS messages I can say that the USAF🇺🇸 C-17A has landed in Niamey. It looks like it's a Medevac (MEDical EVACuation) operation.
