And now for something slightly different:
The DoD go and buy say 6 C130's [as late a series as possable]
and paint them a nice neutral grey with a company logo in self stick vinyl, and operate them as general cargo aircrafts with crews composed of Air Corps reserves, conditional on their flights must be only to and from this rock.
They are not operated for profit but must be compeditive with other airliners, ie. no undercutting of commercial operations ect.
In the event of them being required for humanaterian aid, troop transport, SAR support what ever,- off come the vinyl logos and on go the vinyl IAC insignia, in go the chaff launchers or whatever, [there are people better informed then me about such things: Aiden, CQ, ect] and the IAC tactical transport wing head into action, harms way, Berties latest holiday,whatever.
Now there is probally a liberary of EU rules and regs against this, but let's see if it can fly,[groan].
