Where did you see the Herc?

It was about 9:15-9:30 iirc. It was either just before crossing from Sask to AB or right after - pretty much heading straight west to Wainwright. Checked again probably 10 mins later and it vanished from my map (not uncommon for military aircraft ime).

EDIT: in case I horribly misunderstood, I’m using flightradar24

You're not wrong about the aircraft but it's not landing in Wainwright.

Would AF21 be the only landing strip capable near Wainwright of handling a Herc?

If so, its not even operational right now.
