C.I.A. Expanding Terror Battle Under Guise of Charter Flights - New York Times
May 31, 2005
"Sometimes a plane would go in the hangar with one tail number and come out in the middle of the night with another," said the former pilot. He asked not to be identified because when he was hired, after responding to a newspaper advertisement seeking pilots for the C.I.A., he signed a secrecy agreement.

As far as needing permission to land..wouldnt they have had to have it? They cant just drop down wherever they want. What if what was an emergency on board. Im sure someone in your government knew that plane was coming, and who/what was in it.
If it is a charterplane it does not need a permit. But if it is a plane used by governments it need to apply beforhand,before landing says an official from the Norwegian statedepartment.
Btw, Thanks Spliff4020!
Publicly they decry it and keep their hands clean, but on the inside I think they know and allow (Probably still a little gratefull for that whole stoppin the Nazis thing) the flights in and out. They probably didnt think people would even notice it at all. Notice how there is nothing to identify it as American to the eyes at all.

Now, to makeitso...way to go on starting the whole trace the tail number thing....amazing. I had no idea that you could just find out that info by the number. Kinda neat, but kinda scary. Anyrate...

Hellmutt....your quote made me laugh out loud. I bet their glad to have him on the payroll. Btw-- I'm always readin the help wanted ads. I havent seen any for CIA pilots. Signed a confidentiality agreement? Thats the best they can do them? Its like the scene in "Team America" where Hans Blix tells Kim Jong Il that if he doesnt comply with the inspections, the UN will be very angry and they will write him a letter telling him that.

anyrate...this is an awesome post, and Im excited to see where it goes from here...
