Three Gates Learjet C-21 aircraft of the 119th Wing, North Dakota Air National Guard arrived in Shannon late Thursday en route south west Asia. The aircraft 84-0124, 84-0064 and 84-0114 used the NODAK (NOrth DAKota) callsign. The aircraft departed Hector International Airport at Fargo, ND on Wednesday.
