And it makes me wonder if Euro allies are making more effort than Biden admin.
I think a bunch of countries still are.
But I think we gave up. It's too hard for us.
Been checking the FlightRadar app every so often and the bulk of the C-17’s (with a radar ID at least) are ours. Some from UK and every so often Qatar.
Those Geman planes are Airbus Atlases. They look like a propeller driven knock off of a C-17.
Headline at MarketWatch right now: White House says US retains capacity to evacuate remaining Americans in Afghanistan.
Keystone Cops are in charge per Dementia Joe.
All news stations use stock video and photo so that could have been from a week ago. Since the debacle started many countries planes have flown in and out.
Currently there are 4 C-17’s inbound to Kabul. Moose92, Moose94, Moose83, & Moose83. Moose92 just made the turn north into Pakistan. There remainder are flying west to east over the Gulf of Oman. There are multiple KC-135 circling over the Gulf of Oman, along the Pakistan/Afghanistan border, and one to the east of Kabul.
About two or so hours ago, there was non-US flight to Qatar. Earlier than that there was non-US flight from Mazar-i-Sharif.
I have not seen any NATO-ally flights this morning.
Who is this one?

Gulfstream took off from Anchorage, flew through Russia around Mongolia and China and appears to be headed toward Pakistan or Afghanistan
Despite the Biden Administration claiming credit for the 122,000 evacuated, many countries and private organizations provided the airlift assets to evacuate tens of thousands.
We need a breakdown of who was evacuated. Amcits, Green card holders, SIVs, Third Country Nationals, and refugees. We will learn that the vast, vast majority of evacuees are refugees with no connection to the USG.
We have a pretty good idea of which countries were involved. Don’t know now who is. However, the Admin. keeps touting the total number and hoping everyone buys it as the number that “We” evacuated. Yes, we were operating & securing the airport, but many other countries & organizations were getting people to the airport & flying them out.
