I noted a curious coincidence pscot Mar 2014 #124

Just roll with it pinboy3niner Mar 2014 #144

There's an American naval presence there for refueling, it's unlikely they would have landed okaawhatever Mar 2014 #4

Like, the US military presence on the island is going to let a bogey land? Brother Buzz Mar 2014 #6
