I need some enlightening here please. Why are the flights to the west to Guam, rather than eastbound to one of our European or African bases? Is it that the planes and cargoes are safer in Guam, or maybe host countries of other bases are reluctant to have them in their lap?
Diego Garcia’s gotta be filled up. Remember France not allowing our jets to flyover to get to Libya from England? They had to go through the Straight of Gibraltar. Pilots had to be helped out of their cockpits when it was over.
