I am very skeptical about the 600-650 planes allegation. What kind of planes? Commercial passenger planes? There would have been a significant shortage of air transport through that interval. Commercial cargo planes? Same problem. Military transports? Feasible, but that would be a tremendous logistical maneuver, putting them out of service for normal activities, but would still consume fuel. It would be hard to conceal from the troops who would be aware of activities having no military transport function. How would the ground offloading from the Vatican to an airfield not be noticed? And likewise from the U.S. destination points to the repositories? The idea that all this massive transportation can happen without notice is not plausible.
Same thing. One plane at a time. 650 flights of planes. If they were military cargolifters, that could mean one plane a day for 2 years. Feasible, but would be noticed.

Plane loads, not planes.
