If we want to talk dangerous......
I would love to have been a fly on the wall in the Argentine military when this request came in. Falklands defended by four Typhoon aircraft, two plus the tanker get diverted and if these get 'eliminated' then who is the caretaker?
In early June 2010 two Typhoons and the VC-10 air tanker based on the Falklands had to divert to Punta Arenas in Chile after poor weather closed Mount Pleasant. This required the aircraft to fly over Tierra del Fuego; authorization for this was given by the Argentinian Air Force. No doubt there was nervousness when the request had to be sent out, with how Argentina behaves about the islands and the planes going in and out of them!
