Skyvector is an interesting site and I found this today. For Grand Forks AFB which is very much less used since they had Minuteman, tankers and B-52's based there. A NOTAM "Special Security Reasons" peaked my interest and it was issued in advance for a base with very much diminished importance....But the site is a nice resource. Looks like something landing from the west on a north south runway...

Yep... Gotta have some reason for the ground pounders to exist... If only to secure the 19th hole....
C'mon guys, it's obvious that while we are all focused on the AirAsia flight, the other missing plane is being brought in for retrofitting as a flying bomb for us to crash into an Iranian reactor. Geez, how much clearer can it be?
