User:Geo Swan/Ghost plane

__NOINDEX__

The CIA operates a fleet of planes, known colloquially as ghost planes to quietly transfer captives held in secret custody. At first this fleet of planes was merely based on rumors and speculation. But amateur plane spotters, human rights workers, and investigative journalists were able to confirm the existence of this fleet, and to identify some of the planes.

To obfuscate the paper trail the CIA leased the planes, they didn't purchase them outright. And Jeppeson, one of the firms which had a contract to supply the planes, was sued by survivors of the extraordinary rendition program.
