err .. royals don't fly 20 year old MD-83s ..
The contents of the plane was some Saudi Tribal chieftain on his annual hunting expedition .. or so I am told .. with his 'hunting' team ..
(I wonder if it is the type where the main man fires, and the backup also fires at the same target to make sure the main man 'got' the shot ..
no kidding .. I did see it once .. .. hidden shooters making sure the main guy got the target .. )
