Chinese Air Force 🇨🇳 B-737 VIP/diplomatic flight spotted landing at Dhaka, the capital of Bangladesh 🇧🇩.
B-4026 is a Boeing 737-76D #7BB0E1, part of Central (PLAAF HQ) Command's 34th Transport Division, 100th Air Regiment out of Beijing.
Back tracing the origin of the flight, FR24 coverage only began as it left Myanmar, but that is not where it came from. Briefly, 2 hours ago, the flight was spotted on ADSBx over Thailand. This is also NOT where it originated from.
So, Wei Fenghe, Defence Minister of China, is in Dhaka today.

Also spotted this PLAAF VIP/Govt A319 heading SW toward Hainan Island from Foshan, which is a fighter base with Su-27s & J-11s.
OMA092 is A319-115 B-4092 #7B0B31
Interesting. This explains the gap in coverage of the Dhaka B-737 flight. CCP Defence Minister Wei Fenghe visited, and agreed with, Vietnam on strengthening bi-lateral ties & defense cooperation.
