Where in the world did you come up with that figure?

"I'm actually surprised at how readily available ownership details are available to the public."

For 25 years I owned a company that tracked ownership details worldwide on all civil helicopters and business class aircraft. I provided weekly reports on all transactions including sales, leases, repos, accidents, etc.

The reports were subscribed to by banks, insurance, dealers, mfrs, aftermarket companies and others. I sold the company, and the service is still available.
