It was a commercial flight?
That seems odd.
My source is my Congressional reps office who I called today, after they researched they called me back with this information. I did this to settle BRAVO down who seems to have a problem.
No, it was not a commercial flight. It was a commercial plane, contracted to take the Marines, Embassy workers out of Yemen. Commercial means, it was a privately owned plane (for charter) contracted by the U.S. government. It is referred to as commercial or civilian which draws the distinction between being a military/government owned plane.
