I cannot imagine a C-140 being allowed to land at Cairo International.

There were only three C-140s in the Air Force inventory, in the 80s. I knew a pilot who flew one of them. It was flown by Air Force pilots, who were also air traffic controllers, to flight check facilities, not to deliver cargo. C-141s have been replaced by C-17s. They will get their supplies.
