Folks,
What Creampuff is saying is that the definitions of state aircraft have changed over the years.
He has posted the definition of a state aircraft from S3, Interpretations, of the Civil Aviation Act 1988, then posted S4, Application of State Aircraft, from the Act.
In a related area, I have often pondered the constitutional situation of the Australian states v. the Commonwealth, if an individual state decided that aircraft owned and/or operated by a state was a state aircraft, and not subject to administration by the Commonwealth, ie the tender attentions of CASA.
Tootle pip!!
