US military planes criss-cross Europe using bogus call sign

THE American military have been operating flights across Europe using a call sign assigned to a civilian airline that they have no legal right to use.
Not only is the call sign bogus — according to the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) — so, it appears, are some of the aircraft details the Americans have filed with the air traffic control authorities.

In at least one case, a plane identified with the CIA practice of “extraordinary rendition” — transporting terrorist suspects — left a US air base just after the arrival of an aircraft using the bogus call sign.

The call sign Juliet Golf Oscar (JGO) followed by a flight number belongs, says the ICAO, to a now bankrupt Canadian low-cost airline called Jetsgo of Montreal.

But for several years and as recently as last December it has been used selectively by both the American air force and army to cover the flights of aircraft to and from the Balkans.

1. Could this technique have been used on 9/11?

Could use of this technique explain some of the confusion on 9/11? This deserves serious consideration, imo.

3. what does this have to do with the 9/11 attacks?

More proof of the disregard the DU admins have for uncovering the truth about what really happened on 9/11.
