Did you even lower yourself to the point you read this piece from The Drive?
No, I didn't
Yet you don't seem to know that Air USA bought the RAAF aircraft?
I believe I said as much in my previous post, so I don't understand WTF you're talking about.

At any rate, unless weapons are involved, it's not an air force.

.I serious don't know how any individual would define an air force. Does it have to belong to a nation state? Can it simply be sponsored by a nation state? Does it have to employ weapons? Can they be non kinetic weapons? What if a national air force only consisted of log and rescue aircraft, no weapons? Ah...doesn't matter. Don't really care. Thought @Brett327 would have a serious answer I might learn from. In any case, the Air USA capabilities are more than decent for a, shall we say, contract air corps ;). I know, it ain't state of the art current gen. But you have NEVER had that in red air, even US military.

Buy an old supertanker and put a runway on it...stuff's getting real at that point.

Anybody have any connections to the company? I'd happily pay for a flight in a MiG-29. Such a sexy airplane.

EDIT: Looks like I'll have to get my ass to Illinois somehow. https://air-usa.com/contact
You can get a ride in a two seat F-104 in Florida. It's a pretty short ride though, the type is known for being rather fuel-limited.

I'm pretty sure that would only be necessary if they had F-16s. But they'd be able to recover onboard because they have a tailhook. Plus, I head supertanker CVE duty is pretty cake; all choker whites and dining outs.
Look at you and your AW knowledges.

Cheaper to fly to Russia and do it there. They've been selling flights for over two decades.
Have fun documenting that on your next security clearance interview. ?
