Are the CIA still doing rendition flights?

[bracebrace!]

Maybe Willie Walsh was up visiting and they wanted to keep you guessing so you couldn't shoot him down.....

[Lafyar Cokov]

It wasn't a Chinook off to another stag-do was it??

[greuzi]

Assume you heard ATC being 'secretive' so what was the callsign?............. or were they whispering?

[ayrprox]

it was probably a watch manager going home for a kip after their shift, didnt want to be woken up by the noise of the departures

[Lurking123]

We're not telling you. Its a secret.

[GS John]

If I told you, I'd have to kill you

[Plane Speaker]

Can't be a secret now though. Was it PM on his way to New York?

[greuzi]

Mancunian causes ATC Chaos!!

Is that rig fitted with TCAS?

If it was so secret wouldn't this thread have been deleted by SIS?

'Fraid not - Cessna F406 twin also referred to as Caravan (if you want to be absolutely correct Caravan II. )
