 A RMAF F-16D block 52 takes off from NAS Fort Worth on its way to Morocco during its ferry flight on December 14th, 2011. |

| I understand there are a number of factors involved, but under normal circumstances, who would be flying the acft. and what would the flight plan look like? |

If they're aren't Moroccans, prolly LockMart or ANG guys. I believe some Tucson drivers have done several ferry flights of late.
Just a WAG but the way the jet's tanked and because he's a single, he'll prolly overnight someplace in eastern Canada (Gander maybe?). Then a short 1500 mile flight to Lajes for snacks and gas before finally getting to Morocco. Almost 5200 nm total.
If it were multiple jets, they'd prolly get tanker support over the Atlantic and make the flight from Gander to Morocco in one hop. |

Instead of a WAG, why not just read the information attached to the photo?
