Moved to the military forum! JW 🙂
Hi,
I was watching the telly last night, and there was an interesting story about the CIA-flights over Europe -and in this case, The Netherlands-. The story seemed to revolve around a Gulfstream 5 with the registration number N379P, which seems to be on a long term lease to the US Government by some front company. I was wondering if there are any more know “CIA” planes like this one, civilian chartered but exclusively used by the US Government.

link is dead. Do you think the CIA has got anything to do with that :diablo:
Stange that eh…? 😀
A thread on the same subject on a GLA-centric forum just vanished too. 😮

Try this one, it worked a minute ago.
In the print edition of the Guardian last week they had lifted photos from airliners.net of all the ‘suspect’ aircraft including, it has to be said, the Lynden Air Cargo C-130s doing the intra-European base cargo flights.

The 2 main aircraft used for extraordinary rendition are:
N44982 Gulfstream 5 cn: 581 ex N581GV/N379P/N8068V
N4476S Boeing 737 BBJ cn: 33010 ex N313P
There are also many other aircraft used, including a number of C130s, a Twin Otter, and a Dash 8. This info is extremely well known, and only marginally more detailed than has previously been mentioned in various newspaper articles.

Already posted this once in another thread, but it’s so good it’s worth posting twice…

Funnily enough there was a thing on BBC Scotland last night about this very subject, Quite a few of these planes have passed through GLA and PIK in recent years, and “allegedly” are rendition flights, taking US captives to foreign lands where they can be illegally interrogated using inhumane methods (again allegedly).
As for the aircraft, they all belong to “paper” companies in the USA that disappear almost as quickly as they are set up. Undoubtedly employed in some sort of covert operation?
Regular USAF transport aircraft and bases have also allegedly been used it is claimed.
