The flight is in the air from Paris to Gander http://www.flightradar24.com/N163PA/4b6f233 - I'm guessing it had to stop in Paris to refuel as no country in West Africa would allow it to stop that is just a guess.

Interesting!
Ok. So I see the plane leaving France en route to Atlanta but there is no flight listed from Dakar to France. Am I missing something or is this the operating procedure? Not listing the flight info out of Africa? Magically appearing in Europe after a last stop in Africa?

I wonder if the plane flew this patient from Sierra Leone to Paris?
France is treating a United Nations employee who contracted Ebola in Sierra Leone, the health ministry said on Sunday.
"This person, who worked in Sierra Leone in the fight against Ebola, has undergone a secure medical evacuation by specialised aircraft," the ministry said in a statement.
The victim has been placed in isolation under high security in an army training hospital in Saint-Mande near Paris.
