I still don't get the thing about the crop duster. I realize it was missing. However, why would our state department have a crop duster in Bermuda flying to FL? Can those planes hold enough fuel to fly that far? Even if it did, why would they have it flying over the water like that? Makes no sense, as much as I can see.

I don't know why it would be under the auspices of the State Department but I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that these planes are used extensively for destroying drug crops in South America.

Let's try to figure out the targets...and then protect them.

Crop duster...Disney World has a high number of people relaxing and enjoying themselves,with little cover. Disney known worldwide, an American symbol of fun and happiness.

HazMat Truck...more of a dilemma for a target...possibly the Shuttle Launch area. Big Bang. Shuttle is symbol of US high technology.

What ELSE is there in Florida that is symbolic of America?

The Bahamas are a heck of a lot closer that Bermuda. The original post indicates the Bahamas.

I heard it was a cropduster type of aircraft, but not a cropduster.
