<Question: Why would someone need seven planes with over 40 tonnes of carrying capacity or that could hold around 500 people, with 'Military' clearance?
A significant fleet. Damn big capacity, almost like a regional airline. Unsure "runner" def but mass evac? Transport high-value cargo? Acquired these planes from TransAsia recently and registered @Guernsey hmmmm…..
Key question (answer unknown to me) is: what does MIL reg enable, different from non-MIL?
"Royal" Dutch as in Royal Dutch Shell, Royal Dutch Airlines… Much awfulness is known about Dutch royals. Assume they have access to unlimited finances and buying 6 used planes is a drop in the bucket to them.
What country laws and international regulations are triggered by MIL reg?
Something about border, departure and arrival inspections? Something about declared flight plans?
>6 used planes
correction *7
Anons just got a phone call and will have to step away circa 1415Z for 1-2 hrs. The exact timing is out of my control.
Hope these intriguing questions about the benefits of "military" registration for a privately-owned aircraft attract some diggers.
