Always Wondered...

I've always wondered why does Microsoft take the time to model a United Airlines hanger at KSFO (San Francisco International), and yet there are no United Airlines aircraft flying around FS2002/FS2004?

Has anyone else seen anyothers like this anywhere else?

I think its some kind of legal thing with airliners wanting to be paid for permision to use their liveries in the sim, but I don't see how a hanger is any different to an aircraft ::)
The only thing like that I've ever noticed was "Top Gun" painted on one of the hangers at Mirramar MCAS 8)

I have no doubt it's a legal issue.  If I were United, or any other airline these days, I'd be jumping at the chance for some free publicity!

Especially now with the bankruptcy thing.
