They are run by the military but technically it's a civilian company, all the pilots are also civilians. I used to know the guy in charge of that entire operation, he was the only military officer in the whole deal.
I came very close to joining the army reserves to get my flight training so I could fly for him. However I had just turned 28 at the time and the army wouldn't put me in flight training becouse they said I was too old.
Sucks ass cause that would have been a killer job. Lots of action and IMO would have been very fun.
