Mmmmm ....

I don't know where that little Gem of info has come from .... but dare I say that Evergreens close ties to the US Military and in particular the CIA might make for some very interesting politics around Dubai.

Perhaps their Ops. will only be SAR coverage for US military aircraft operations in the UAE ie Ops from MinHad AFB or Al Dhafra AFB?

I cannot see the UAE Air Force / Police giving up their cosy SAR jobs especially since they are re-equiping with AW139s.

I doubt it will happen .... but will wait and see?????


Cheers
