I'd never heard of Hopkinsville.
A small town in Kentucky - I suspect this C-17 is out of the nearby Fort Campbell, Kentucky a massive US Army facility, home of the 101st Airborne and the 160 SOAR ( special forces ).

The C5M (86-0020) had been listed out of Campbell (KHOP).
There were ACARS messages showing it KDOV to KHOP, but nothing for EGPK.
Tracking seems to suggest it never left KDOV.

Fort Campbell army airfield is about 20 miles from Hopkinsville, Kentucky. That probably explains the KHOP airport/airfield code for Fort Cammbell army airfield
