    Ugh, the dreaded seven engine approach again?

    Good luck trying to figure me out. I haven't managed that myself yet!

    diverted 3rd while on a global power mission... USAFE statement wouldn't state if weapons were on board, which may explain the dreaded 7 engine diversion.

    If you mean nuclear, they aren't deployed in nuclear weapons roles any more. Officially at least.

    Sounds about right.

    Sell Baldonnell to the highest bidding housing developer and spend the money or a few jets. Move them west and help keep AFB Shannon alive and kicking.

    Comedy aside, probably not the worst solution.
