Ward Smith + 6,615 May 16, 2019 Falcon 7x belongs to the Air Force in Hungary? It's a luxury jet, my friend has its big brother, the 900ex EZ. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are a group of anons (mostly ex-military) who quietly monitor all military air traffic in the U.S. and this particular plane caught my attention; why is a plane registered to Hungarian Air Force coming into the U.S.? There has also been a recent uptick in a few Saudi Military Medical planes flying into U.S. air space lately. Guessing some rich Saudi needs medical attention. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you're being sarcastic, but for those who missed the joke: the Swiss are neutral because they're armed to the teeth in a mountain stronghold. Switzerland has a stronger gun culture than the United States. No one dares attack it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My retired Air Force friends never got to fly this kind of luxury until they retired and flew for the "rich bastards". This is a fairly standard configuration for the 900EX EZ 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Maybe, sounds plausible. I don't know the ins and outs of protocol regarding who travels in what transport, but PM Orban came to the US to meet Trump a day or two ago. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Now that I think of it, Air Force One belongs to our Air Force, so maybe the Falcon is Hungary's Air Force One? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
