Within the framework of monitoring air traffic in Egyptian airspace using navigation tools and open sources, “Taqasee” was able to uncover intriguing movements of a military aircraft in the skies of Sinai, near the Egyptian-Israeli border, due to its unusual flight pattern. It was observed that this aircraft follows a repetitive and regular pattern in a narrow area near the border, which suggests that its activity may be related to reconnaissance and surveillance missions, or the transportation of sensitive figures and equipment, coinciding with the brutal massacres committed by Israel in Rafah in Gaza.




By tracking and analyzing the aircraft’s data, it became clear that it bears the number 84-00160 and belongs to the Beech C-12U-3 Huron model, an aircraft belonging to the US Army and part of the Beech King Air military aircraft series, which is relied upon for high-priority airlift missions. Records show that the aircraft’s serial number is BL-90, and its Mode S code is AE0404. The presence of a foreign military aircraft with these specifications in this location is surprising and raises questions about the true purpose of its flight within Egyptian airspace.

Flight records revealed intensive activity of the aircraft during the past week, as it made regular shuttle visits to Egyptian and Israeli airports. Its journey began on April 3rd from Rafah, Palestine – where a bloody massacre is taking place at the hands of the occupation army – heading to Sharm El Sheikh Airport. Then, on April 6th, it departed from Cairo Airport, returning to Sharm El Sheikh on the same day.
On April 7th, flights between Sharm El Sheikh and Cairo were repeated back and forth within a few hours. Flight data recorded yesterday, April 9th, a flight from Sharm El Sheikh Airport to Tel Aviv Airport, returning after a few hours.

In addition to verifying the aircraft’s flight records, we verified with multiple sources that the aircraft belongs to the US Army. Notably, the evidence indicates that it is not a temporary aircraft flying between Egypt and Israel, but rather appears to have been stationed in Israel for a long time, since at least 2018. Its presence in the “Gush Dan” area of Tel Aviv has been documented, as we have verified.

Research showed that the oldest documented record of the aircraft’s appearance within Israeli territory dates back to July 2018, indicating that the aircraft’s presence in the Middle East is not recent but extends for several years. Moreover, the aircraft’s activity was not limited to Egypt and Israel but extended to other Arab countries. For example, in November 2021, the aircraft carried out a flight from the Israeli Hatsor Air Force Base to the Jordan Valley.


Despite the aircraft’s activity in the region dating back several years, its presence within Egyptian airspace has become intensive since 2024. One of the earliest recorded flights during this period was a flight that departed in July 2024 from South Sinai heading to Cairo.

At a time when Egypt consistently insists on its alignment with the Palestinian cause, allowing an American military aircraft to fly near sensitive borders, coinciding with bloody events in a war of extermination on the Egyptian border in Rafah, raises significant question marks about Al-Sisi’s hidden role and the extent of his complicity in activities that contradict his official rhetoric.
