Get back to me when the U.S. puts in an official complaint of the airspace violation.

That article posted is poorly written and very stilted. A case of lost in translation.

``Whenever we saw U.S. planes during our flights over the ocean, we greeted them,’’ Androsov said. ``On Wednesday, we renewed the tradition when our young pilots flew by Guam in two planes. We exchanged smiles with our counterparts who flew up from a U.S. carrier and returned home.’’

‘Flew by’’. Legally they can go up to the 12mile limit.

Actually, the *reporter* said they flew over the island.

We all know how accurate reporters are.
