Weapons Trafficking Plane Comes to KSHD?

Arms R Us

A Saab 340 operated RAM Air Services (tail number N703RS) came to Shenandoah Valley Regional Airport (KSHD) a few months ago. This plane was mentioned in a United Nations report in July 2011 on page 252 for possible unsanctioned weapons deliveries to Somalia:

13. Another operator, “RAM Services”, leasing aircraft owned by “S3B Leasing LLC”, based in Alexandria, Virginia, and possibly linked to the United States Government, also conducted 17 flights to Somalia with a Saab 340 bearing US registration N-703RS between 27 October 2010 and 24 February 2011.

Fascinating that sleepy little Weyers Cave, Virginia gets a visitor which such notoriety.
