CourtnetMill,
I heard "rumours", when I was a kid, that at times planes incoming from the sea could be seen from some cities down south.
Would you mind confirming wether or not:
a) low level attacks on Rio Gallegos airstrip were either plan and/or exercised?
b) if Buccanner aircraft were ever deployed south? (L. Freedman states that they were supposed to be used in some sort of retaliation actions against argentinean air and naval bases... he even states that those plans were prepared around October by direct request of the PM.)
Also, did you guys ever get to find any other aircraft than Boeings 737, ARA´s Electra or FAA´s ELINT Boeing 707??
I was told by someone actually in one of the planes that in more than a couple of times, FAA´s Hercules did fly directly over the islands in order to get to Antactica´s Marambio Air Base. Any comments on that?
Thank you.
Christian
