USAF C5M #86-0021 (Dover, AE0572) departed Bahrain around 15:00Z. Has been transmitting on ACARS (before and after takeoff) as RCH5070 for Prestwick but is also transponding as RCH4000 - so unclear if the flightplan (and destination?) has changed or if they just put the wrong callsign in the transponder. If still coming here would be around 22:30.
