QuoteAnd some civil aircraft have had quite extensive fits for some time.  I was at Waco when the Sultan of Brunei's private 747 came through for some work.  That's quite a nice set of countermeasures fitted.
The Sultan of Oman's first 747SP was being converted for him (still in its Braniff "Big Orange" color scheme) in San Antonio, Texas when I was there in 1987 - and it had the 747 version of Have Siren IR pulse jammers on the pylons.  This is not a new thing, although royal flight airplanes aren't exactly airliners either :)
