Privately Owned 747's?
Past several days, the local news has been reporting on the Global Peace Initiative and their flight(s) to the tsunami area in their own 747. The stories claim this is the "only privately-owned 747 in the world."
I don't believe them. I was under the impression that some rich Saudis have their very own 747s.
So are there non-governmental or -corporate entities with 747's?
