Now the reason I asked is that when I'm flying my civilian jet around Europe I hear the "Reach" callsign all the time. These are, more often than not, civil operators carrying troops and freight for the US military using a military callsign.
The MOD has also, if my memory serves me, used civil operators for the FI airbridge.
So where do you draw the line?
Perhaps the AAR, AEW and other specialist roles are best left to the military but straightforward movement of personnel and freight could easily be devolved to civilian operators.
Well the septics do it
And Zoom....get paid the same as the military??? What's the equivalent rank for £120K a year?
