Hueypilot Posted October 23, 2013 Share Posted October 23, 2013 The usual journalism excellence continues:The U.S. military base in Afghanistan, located alongside a commercial airport outside the capital city of Bishkek, has been a politically divisive issue in Kyrgyzstan, pitting pro-democracy reformers against pro-Moscow hard-liners. Didnt realize Bishkek is the capital of Afghanistan. Earlier this year, three Fairchild crew members died when their KC-135 exploded above a rugged mountain range about 100 miles west of the base. The cause remains under investigation, but authorities have said the tanker was flying into a lightning storm. Which authorities?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
