Dyncorp etc
IF the aircraft was chartered by DynCorp (mission statement "We serve today for a safe tomorrow") and IF it was carrying supplies for the military in Somalia, why are the Ugandan authorities allowing a flag of convenience operator to use their airspace? My understanding is that the IL76 has been banned in Uganda for some time due to safety concerns however exemptions are regularly granted for "military operations". This should not IMHO allow the U.N. to use operators who are not considered safe in the vast majority of the world's civilised countries and who is allowing DynCorp to use such carriers?
