There's a company in Riyadh, who I thought were "Jet Airlines" who have one or 2 737s, but I haven't seen an Otter. Rocketman maybe knows better though.
There's also an Exec Jet company in JED who I am told have aircraft "Gulfstream size" - whatever that means!
email if I can be of any further assistance!

Mutt,
You are correct, however, the 727 I was flying, HZ-OCV (wonder where it is broken down this time?) ie-Hanger/Ramp Queen, was connected to a group of people called Al-Atheer Establishment. My ID said "Saudi Special Flight, but I can tell you it was a "Royal" operation of the most SeCIAret kind. These are the guys who have the Dorniers for desert ops.
Cheers...did my year there then moved to a civilized a/c for a private owner. Loved every minute of that one.

Mutt,
Seems we're into it on 2 different posts. The gear down to Basel was a nightmare.
Via Wej, Athens, and then struggling up to Fl190 to pass through the Alps.
Long day, and talk about noisy!
Prob was one of the gear doors had somehow shifted preventing the sequencing valves from doing their thing.

Small world, SV ops asked me to flight plan your route. It was the first that i knew about a 727 in the fleet.
Needless to say i wasnt much help and suggested that they told the captain (you) to use a jeppesen flight computer!!!!!
I think that OCV is still around!!
Did u fly with a FE Mike Allman?

Mutt,
For obvivous reasons I can't give too many details concerning this flt here on the open forum, however, I can say my whole experience with that organization was a nightmare from the first day.
Talk about penny pinching hipocrytes.
I can tell you this: The previous day I wwas flying a very high level Family member RUH/JED. Flt was normal until gear retraction. Rt main gear lt stayed red. Recycled as per ck list. No Joy. I informed the VIP we would return to RUH. He wanted to continue to JED, gear down. I explained that would be OK except we didn't have the fuel.
End result, emergency landing at RUH. Try that with THIS guy on board. Never saw so much activity over nothing in my career.
Next day the decision was made to do the gear down ferry. I was told we could it nonstop. (normal flt with everything working was 6+ hours.) The people in charge had no conception of what would be required for a gear down ferry.
To make a long story short, the day of the flight, the FE wanted to unpin the gear and "try" to raise it.
When you were asked to plan the flight was probably right after I refused to do it "non-stop".
We ended up taking 9 crewmembers (guess what nationality) on this ferry flight.
No wonder I left this after my one year contract was up.
By the way, is Conky Joe related to the individual that managed to put "Surfin' USA" on the tape machine on the mineret (mosque) in JED? If so, I know him, but who are you. My e-mail is on my profile.

Oh how I WISH I was responsible for livening up Salah - a little boogie for their upward pointing bottoms! Did it really happen? My brother-in-law swears he knows someone who did the same in Bahrain. A travelling DJ intent on making the mullahs a little more musical - whoever he is I salute him
