I flew out of Kadena on Okinawa in the early 70's. We participated in NATO exercises with the Chinese Air Force. Taiwan was in NATO back then. Darned if I remember them landing on their highways. The USAF always used their, or our bases. We flew out of CCK, Tainan and Taipei.
Pete,

Why do we still use the term fighter"jets"? Prop driven fighters are history. Its like stating a TV show is in color. They all are. Aggrevates me.

Parts of US95 near Creech AFB in Nevada were closed yesterday so military aircraft could use it during Green Flag.
This is not that far from the truth. The official name of today's interstate system when first funded and assigned in the 50s was the 'National Interstate Defense Highway System'. While it wasn't designed for aircraft use, it was considered a defense asset for the rapid movement of troops and materiel (yes, that is correct spelling in this context) in times of war.
