11. I think I saw Russia from the air. (and Xema sabini).

Kotzebue to Nome. I think you can see it as you head over the north end of the Seward peninsula. It's a connection of one of the daily Alaska Air flights from Anchorage.

I saw Xema sabini during my stopover in Kotzebue. Several of them.

20. San Diego, California Residents Can See Mexico - Immigration Experts?

I guess they are all candidates for Director of INS. Likewise, since Mexico is a foreign country, they also have FP experience.
