Interesting!
I'm thinking (outside the box) that this could provide the 'beginnings' of a huge private corporation. A corporation that owns a varied selection of military aircraft and leases them to any country on a long-term basis. Just think of the possibilities for profit! (Remember when leasing vehicles didn't exist? Now, many individuals/companies/governments lease vehicles instead of purchasing them.)

Why stop at aircraft, there could be naval ships, army combat vehicles, a myriad of military equipment up for grabs to whichever country can pay the recurring lease fees.

Would that be considered 'arms dealing' by some? Maybe, but many countries currently are complicit in dealing arms anyways!

Just a thought. Maybe 10-20 years from now it won't seem such an obscure idea?

You heard it here first, (laughing) !
