Interesting, Luxembourg accomplished a similar feat twenty years ago. They acquired an Air Force without buying airplanes. When NATO bought E-3 airborne warning and command system (AWACS) aircraft late in The Cold War, the planes were registered with Luxembourg to avoid a squabble for national markings. Since the AWACS were based at the nearby field in Geilenkirchen, GE, they probably overflew Luxembourg regularly. :wink:
