Summary
N740EH is a privately-owned Boeing 737-800 (B738), a large aircraft with capacity for 149 passengers. It was contracted by the CIA as part of its overall contract with DynCorp/CSC. The aircraft can be linked to a possible disguised detainee transfer in March 2006, whereby it met another CSC aircraft (N733MA) on the tarmac in Cairo. That aircraft had flown direct from Lithuania, where a secret prison was in the process of being closed down, and after 30 minutes in the same airport, N740EH took off, flying direct to Kabul, Afghanistan.
FAA records show that N740EH has been owned since February 2006 by TSI Holding Co., a company based in St. Louis, Missouri. In turn, TSI Holding owns Miami Air International, a charter company which operated N740EH throughout 2006. Miami Air is a Florida-based company with large US military contracts for its fleet of aircraft (including a contract with the US Air Force Air Mobility Command).
