No problem, I suspected we were at cross-purposes.
So did they make an initial approach to 27 and break first right and then left for 21? Or were they just doing a left hand circuit on 21?
ADSBE suggests the latter - the last 30 nm or so of the track were more-or-less due west from roughly Montreuil-aux-Lions. The track stops just short of the field, but is consistent with a simple (albeit not quite textbook) left turn onto short final for 21, where the video picks up.
Sadly, it appears that the KC-46 is only on static display at the Show, so we won't get any further chances to admire his approach technique.
