Transponders seem to have been shut off as the flights fly over Jordan. So, the plans either landed near Aman Jordan or they flew to another location when they turned off their transponders. Israel perhaps? It's seems strange to fly around the southern boarder of Israel and then head north into Jordan.
What is a Boeing C-17A Globemaster III?
The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III is a large military transport aircraft developed for the United States Air Force (USAF) between the 1980s to the early 1990s by McDonnell Douglas.
It is designed to replace the Lockheed C-141 Starlifter and fulfill some of the duties of the Lockheed C-5 Galaxy. The C-17A is a high-wing, four-engine heavy transport aircraft that allows for rapid deployment of troops, supplies, combat vehicles, heavy equipment, and helicopters anywhere in the world. It can also be used to conduct aeromedical evacuation missions. The C-17A Globemaster III is capable of performing tactical airlift and airdrop missions and can transport litters and ambulatory patients during aeromedical evacuations when required. The aircraft has been in service since 1992 and is known for its flexibility and performance.
