Lords of War in Alaska

An L-39 Albatross jet in flight, the weapons systems on this particular plane, though installed, are rendered inoperable, and are for show purposes only.

It all started with a mysterious jet crash in Ketchican, Alaska one year ago. A Czech L-39 jet crashed into a trailer home, starting an investigation that would uncover more questions than answers.

The jet was being purchased by Security Aviation, an Alaskan company that owns entire fleets of the Czech jets "to do some contract work for the Navy and the Air Force," according to Craig Wolter. Wolter is Security Aviation's director of operations, and would not elaborate further at the time.

Following the crash, federal agents stormed Security Aviation's hangars in Anchorage and Palmer, seizing Millions of dollars in fighter jets and weapons, and arresting Robert Kane on charges of illegally possessing air to ground rocket launchers mountable on L-39 Albatross fighter jets. Security also possessed boxes of Russian made rockets for the launchers. In Kane's home, officials found a briefcase with multiple badges, medals, passports, $20K cash, and a silencer for a .45 handgun. Kane maintained that he was subcontracting for the United States military and was not at liberty to discuss details.

The government has since ordered the release of all of Security's jets, and Kane's trial is now underway.

Just a hunch, but I'm guessing that owning rockets, rocket launchers, and Czech L-39 jets separately is not against the law, as long as you don't combine the three. We'll see how Kane's trial turns out, but so far I have not seen anything saying that the government denies any affiliation with Kane, who was likely an arms dealing middleman for the government to unsavory characters - a la Nick Cage in "Lord of War".

Either that or Kane's just crazy as fuck.
