Comco is the de facto name of an American company operating two Boeing 757 aircraft. Both aircraft are painted completely white with the word Comco appearing on the tail. Little is known about the exact nature of their operation, but they are believed to operate on behalf of the United States Department of Defense. Some sources, including the FAA registry, list defence contractor L-3 Communications (or more specifically L-3 Capital LLC) as the owner of the aircraft.[1][2][3]
In 2003, one of the Comco aircraft was forced to land after being intercepted by aircraft from the Indian Air Force, after it had strayed into Indian airspace by mistake on a flight from Karachi to Malé.[4]
