I still think there was more to the hostage event last night than we saw.
I am still not ruling out the possibility that Kim was on the plane with the hostages. Not saying he was, but that is one of many possibilities of what might have been happening in addition to just the hostage release that was the obvious public spectacle.
Plus, it doesn’t seem like good op security to announce where and when the President will be that far in the future, especially in a foreign country. That gives too many bad actors the opportunity to plot against him.
Right. And he has always refused to announce actions in advance...
I agree, I have flown direct non stop from Los Angeles to Narita airport in Japan enroute to Singapore via Hong Kong. same route back and it was non stop, no need to refuel Narita to Singapore is several hours, the stop in Alaska is the closest American soil flying across the north pacific and it was said specifically to refuel, probably to make the hop from there to DC would make sense.
6500 mile is max range for a 747 safely
4,830 miles distance from Hawaii to DC
3,369 miles distance from Anchorage to DC
Singapore is a great city, crowded but not like Hong Kong
Interesting, very interesting
