White Knight:
"I think it was aimed at our CIS chums!!!!"
Silberfuchs:
I think White Knight is refering to the motley collection of CIS aircraft (including AN-8s, AN-12s, IL-18s and IL-76s) which operate into and out of Sharjah and which are registered under just about every flag of convenience known to man.
I would imagine that EK aircraft operate under much more strictly enforced regulations.
