BOEING 767-300 (N640GT)
An Atlas Air B763 outside of customs at KIND. The aircraft was supposed to depart that evening for Frankfurt-Hahn, but the crew timed out so the flight was rescheduled for the following day.
N640GT was operating as a charter for the US Army, dropping off contractors at Frankfurt-Hahn, as GTI8952, and then onto Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar, as CMB329.
This aircraft is a 1991 Boeing 767-3S1(ER), SN 25221, owned/operated by Atlas Air. 9/30/22.

I wonder why they were going to Hahn as opposed to Ramstein? Not much left of the American military on that side of Germany unless they are setting up a staging area. Normally I prefer not to make political statements, but I always thought it was a mistake to demobilize a lot of our troops from Germany.
Larry Toler, not sure. I it could’ve just been for refueling I suppose, but troops from Fort Bliss were scheduled to be deployed to Europe. I should have asked!
These days I would not trust anything the military says.
@Erik Bruner: Why?
In talking to the transportation coordinator, there were several GS employees and contractors to drop off at Hann, then troops to Qutar. Atlas put up the troops in the Courtyard by Marriot in downtown Indy, fed them well, then took off early Saturday.
wdhearrell, caption is changed. Thank you so much for the info! I had briefly talked to ground staff at Million Air and they said the troops were happy to get put up in that hotel that evening haha
