Rooters: Callsign "BOND"...
Australian Aircraft Licensed to Kill for Bush VisitArmed fighter jets with a license to kill have begun patrols in the skies over Australiaâs capital as the city on Tuesday began an unprecedented security operation for a visit by President Bush. OOOH! A "license to kill!"...And who the hell flys UNARMED fighters? Royal Australian Air Force F/A-18 Hornets, with permission to shoot down suspicious planes, will escort Bushâs plane, Air Force One, into Canberra on Wednesday night and patrol the usually sleepy cityâs skies during the presidentâs 20-hour visit. It is only the second time armed air force jets have flown operationally over Australiaâs mainland since World War II. The first such operation was mounted last year as leaders of the 54 Commonwealth nations attended a summit on the northeast coast. Posted by: mojo 2003-10-21 |
