Blackwater -yep, seems they are at it again – or at least whatever the Cheney administration wants them too… Wired reports today that Blackwater has been busy buying military aircraft…
An Embraer Super Tucano was placed on the U.S. civil aircraft registry on February 21, 2008 under the name of EP Aviation LLC. Additionally, 28 other aircraft have been registered to this obscure company, most over the past few months. The list includes 14 Bell 412 helicopters, as well as a number of fixed wing aircraft.
All I want to know is WHY? This is a military role – not a contractors.
