Kate Moss Wanted Afghanistan-Bound Military Flights Over Her Wedding Suspended

Supermodel Kate Moss tried to stop military planes bound for Afghanistan from flying over her wedding ceremony and reception, The Sun reported Thursday.

Moss, 37 -- who is now honeymooning on a $16 million superyacht -- wanted to get married without the drone of jets from the Royal Air Force's (RAF) Brize Norton base overhead.

She asked chiefs at the base near her Little Faringdon, central England, home to divert or postpone their flights -- but was politely refused.

HOT SHOTS: Kate Moss

A military source said, "RAF Brize Norton is a fully operational wartime air base. Flights from the base carry troops and vital equipment directly to Afghanistan."

The source added, "These flights are absolutely crucial. The idea that the top military brass would put these flights on hold or change their routes just to give a celeb some peace on their wedding day is absolutely inconceivable. Kate should consider herself lucky she just got a polite refusal."

Mom-of-one Moss' home -- where her three-day reception celebration was held -- is around five miles from the air base. The church where she wed The Kills rocker Jamie Hince, 42, on Friday is also close by.

We used to get bitched at when I was with a EMS service for running Red Lights and Sirens while going to a call in the early morning.
It made us make more noise....if we’re up...then everyone is up, damnitt.

I live just a few miles from Fort Knox and it is a rare day where we don't have tanks, artillery, helicopters, or APC's using the live fire ranges at all hours of the day and night.

We had a 5.6 earthquake a few years ago, but I didn't realize it was a quake until I saw the news a few hours later. I thought it was Knox again.
