Boy it looks like some ego's on pprune are easily bruised.
PAF Don't take this seriously mate but your idea of just next to is different to most people.Mate As Divosh said Basra is a different animal and not just over the hill to Tallil .
I reckon that bankstown is just next to Sydney but bathurst is not and if you were walking or driving it is a lot longer than 170 k's and Divosh did not bring up Basra you did.
let it rest
to change the subject what would have happened if it was the US president in the same boat(or herc or whatever).
I reckon they would have had a exclusion area the size of Tasmania around the airfield.Hang on Ive probably done it now with all the military experts here
