Comco Boeing 757-200 CBR Gilbert-1
Comco is the '' de facto'' name of an American company operating two Boeing 757 aircraft. Overview Little is known about the exact nature of their operation, but the aircraft are believed to operate on behalf of the United States Department of Defense. There is speculation they are occasionally repainted to display military serial numbers instead of the customary civilian registration code. They are often confused with the similarly secretive and sparsely marked Boeing C-32B Gatekeeper aircraft, modified 757s operated by the U.S. Air Force. The aircraft are painted white, and have either the word ''COMCO'' on the tail or stylized blue sweeps on the tail, fuselage, and engine cowling. The Federal Aviation Administration ( FAA) registry lists the owner of the aircraft as L-3 Capital, assumed to be a subsidiary of defense contractor L3Harris Technologies. When parked and unused, the aircraft have padlocks which seal each of the exits, a highly unusual modification for an aircr ...

Vertical Stabilizer
A vertical stabilizer or tail fin is the static part of the vertical tail of an aircraft. The term is commonly applied to the assembly of both this fixed surface and one or more movable rudders hinged to it. Their role is to provide control, stability and trim in yaw (also known as directional or weathercock stability). It is part of the aircraft empennage, specifically of its Stabilizer (aeronautics), stabilizers. The vertical tail is typically mounted on top of the rear fuselage, with the horizontal stabilizers mounted on the side of the fuselage (a configuration termed "conventional tail"). Other configurations, such as T-tail or twin tail, are sometimes used instead. Vertical stabilizers have occasionally been used in Motorsport, motor sports, with for example in Le Mans Prototype, Le Mans Prototype racing. Function Principle The vertical tail of an aircraft typically consists of a fixed vertical stabilizer or fin on which a movable rudder is mounted. A trim tab may s ...

Airlines Based In Montana
An airline is a company that provides air transport services for traveling passengers or freight (cargo). Airlines use aircraft to supply these services and may form partnerships or alliances with other airlines for codeshare agreements, in which they both offer and operate the same flight. Generally, airline companies are recognized with an air operating certificate or license issued by a governmental aviation body. Airlines may be scheduled or charter operators. The first airline was the German airship company DELAG, founded on November 16, 1909. The four oldest non-airship airlines that still exist are the Netherlands' KLM (1919), Colombia's Avianca (1919), Australia's Qantas (1920) and the Russian Aeroflot (1923). Airline ownership has seen a shift from mostly personal ownership until the 1930s to government-ownership of major airlines from the 1940s to 1980s and back to large-scale privatization following the mid-1980s. Since the 1980s, there has been a trend of major ai ...
