re: #56 John Hughes

That’s a bit shit, a flyover by a 707? They couldn’t find anything more impressive?

I attended University of Arizona in Tucson, near Davis-Mounthan airbase. I used to watch planes starting and landing all the time.

During the Falklands War, I started noticing a lot more KC-135s, the airborne tanker variant of the 707, passing overhead.

Then I read reports about the USAF secretly refueling British jets on their way to the Falklands.

Recall that when the US imposed on an embargo on wheat exports to the USSR after the invasion of Afghanistan, it was Argentina that made up for most of the shortfall…
