N1 lands in BED:

The FBI handles this type of transportation under contract to the states,
and are reimbursed by them for the costs of the plane and agents.

N1 lands in BED with Entwhistle on board. What is the FAA doing flying
this alledged murder suspect back to the US?

From what I heard, the federal gummint will be billing the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts for the cost of the flight. Much more secure than commercial
air.

Since the subject has been raised - does anybody know what N1 is used
for?
It's registered to the FAA, and painted like Airforce 1. Saw it land at
AVL awhile
back. Three guys got out and appeared to go to lunch. Left an hour or
so later.

Not really sure... I've seen it in Savannah a couple times at work, but
never had a chance to look inside.

Yeah, I saw it, too, but did you notice that landing lights was flashing
like a siren after touchdwon? I don't see any point for doing that. Is it
designed to chase someone in the air and force them to pull over???

These days law enforcement vehicles are wall to wall flashing lights so
traffic sees them to yield or idiot drivers don't run into them when
they are stopped by the side of the road. It might be as simple as if it
is good enough for an automobile, it is good enough for an airplane.

Or, maybe this is nothing more than one of those landing lights that
flashes during the day to make the aircraft easier to spot while in the
air. Many aircraft, from business jet down to Cessna single engines, are
equipped with these.

Toks didn't mention whether the landing light was left on for taxi all the
way to the ramp so therefore I suspect that this was the case.

Flashing landing lights is an anti-collision development.
The bulb is cycled from about 20-100% intensity. This
increases bulb life and the eye sees a flashing light better
than a steady light.
They have these on motorcycles too. They even have a unit
that will flash the brakelight when they are applied
steadily.

Of course, there's a valid argument to be made that these lights are
distracting and might actually *cause* more accidents than they avoid...

Here in Los Angles we had a police helo pull over a pp in the air and had him land to find out why he was flying like an idiot.
