[Daily Mail] A US military C-17 transport aircraft that usually carries at least 100 troops flew to Geneva Airport to pick up Secretary of State John Kerry and flew him to Boston where he'll be treated for a broken leg.
A bit of overkill on the EVAC. No one ever said what caused the bike accident, curb to jump up, etc. Other than the painfully obvious, is Kerry suffering from other medical problems, traumas ?
The Air Force plane touched down in Switzerland on Monday after taking off from a US base in Ramstein, Germany, and then headed to Massachusetts after collecting the 71-year-old politician.
Kerry tweeted out 'big thanks' to his well-wishers and said he looked forward to getting his leg set and getting back to work at the State Department.
Probably a mission assigned to the 86th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron out of Ramstein, AB. I hope the airframe was, or is not needed elsewhere for a legitimate mission. |
