Anybody know if there’s an airbase in Hellmand Province capable of handling Buff’s. I highly doubt it. The report implies that it was hit slightly after takeoff — which is the only way a stinger-like weapon has a chance.

Qatar is the only base, I think. No need to be any closer.

Story is six weeks hold. B52 destroyed and covered up that long? Unlikely.

Buffs and Bones fly out of Diego Garcia.
