Pontious -
A few years ago, despite UK and US Military Topo maps being marked with warnings of intense movements on many small airfields with parachuting and microlights and light aircraft, a pair of Bentwaters A-10's managed to appear at 250 agl on the centreline of Long Marstons main runway, scattering light aircraft as they went. As anyone flying light aircraft knows in the UK the whole of the UK seems to be a low leval area for the USAF. Less of a problem now that the A-10's/Bentwaters have left but what with that and trigger happy Blue on Blue incidents whenever the US is in a battle maybe their primary Geography lessons should include maps that prove the area outside the USA contains human beings and aircraft.
B J - happy flying light aircraft
