All your jets are belong to us

I am not an airplane snob. I've flown Rwanda Air Express, MadAir (the national airline of Madagascar), along with bush planes in Guatemala, Mexico, Tanzania, Costa Rica, and Peru (when our charter pilot in Peru went out of business between our outbound and inbound flight we got a ride from the Peruvian air force!).

But this is a bit too much (from the Economist):

"Running Air Zimbabwe is not easy. When President Robert Mugabe wants to go somewhere, he simply kicks the passengers off one of your jets and takes it. This is not good for customer relations, or profits."

Maybe Air Zim could join up with Delta & KLM!

As if we needed any more evidence that the man is one of the most misanthropic, thuggish individuals alive (/ever?). At least zee germans liked their own.
