Apologies for bumping this old thread again. The past years I've been busy trying to realise some other crazy dream (
http://www.pprune.org/private-flying...th-pole-4.html) , which brought me back to this one.
I don't seem to make any progress in getting permission to do this. Except for getting a negative reply from a US Navy Commander (yes yes, they did respond to my inquiry
), I don't seem to get any more information.
Hence my shameless bump. Maybe there are some new people active on Pprune that might be able to help...
