That’s right, I am not making this up.  Bancroft Global Development is a no-kidding non-profit PMC. lol.  Anyway, this is all I could scrape up about BGD, and I thought it was a pretty cool concept.  I don’t know of any other non-profit PMC’s out there, and this company totally presents a different view on […]

   This is a continuation of the video I posted earlier about this company.  This kind of reminds of another article I wrote in regards to PMC versus PMC. Not in the way of Blackwater fighting Oryol on the battlefield, but in the way of competing with them on the battlefield of market share. That the German […]

      I tend to think that Blackwater will do what it can to get the job done with their […]

This was from Wired’s Danger Room blog. I read about this, when it first came out in Janes Defense Weekly last year. Cool stuff. -Head Jundi

Blackwater Bulks Up Air Power Using Little-Known Company
By Sharon Weinberger April 07, 2008 
 Private security contractor Blackwater Worldwide has purchased a light attack counterinsurgency aircraft, and over two dozen other aircraft, […]

     I wanted to post this, because this is right up my ally.  As a smokejumper, we did these kind of operations all the time for resupply.  So this concept is really not new.  Air America used to do these type of operations during the Southeast Asia conflict, and Blackwater USA Aviation is providing the same kind of services now a […]
