American B-52 bombers use German airspace en route to Iraq:
2003-04-07
American B-52 bombers have been using German airspace on their way to the war in Iraq, a traffic ministry spokesman announced here Monday during a news briefing. "The B-52 planes have been registered since the war began (in Iraq)," said Felix Stenschke, referring to Germany's granting of fly-over rights to US and British planes. Berlin had refused last week to confirm whether B-52 bombers had been using German airspace.
Boeing Bombers Buzz Berlin, has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

#3  Heh! Maybe one of the Buff's can drop a load on Berlin "by accident" - remind 'em what it was like about 60 years ago.
