• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Saw this on my homepage just now. I don't know how to put a link up here but, you can check it out on King's Bay Facebook page.

The local ABC affiliate here reports this happened on Sunday; there were two skydivers; one had documentation on him indicating he was an alien (NFI); the other had no documentation of any kind on him - not even a DL; they were supposed to have come down near a high-security area of the base; they had apparently mistaken baseball diamonds on the submarine base for property on the St Mary's Airport, nearby - at least that's the story they gave to Navy authorities. They were released shortly thereafter.
 
Interesting given that the airspace over King's Bay is restricted. St. Mary's airport is indeed just out of the airspace so it is certainly plausible that these guys got mis-oriented. There are several baseball diamonds in St. Mary's near the airport and on King's Bay. I used to play golf on King's Bay for a while when my wife was up there TDY. I also fly past it pretty regularly.
