Status: offline 		I would guess that is the Tora, Tora, Tora group. I haven't been able to find out where they were going and where they were going. I do know they flew over my hometown, Washington, MO, because our photo editor got a shot of them flying over her parents' house.
Thanks!

The really odd thing was that I was wearing one of my USS Arizona shirts earlier in the day.

Are you sure your mayor is on good terms with the Japanese ? May want to talk to him.

Status: offline 		Actually St. Charles Mo, is on the Missouri River and only boats stationed there are casinos! So it may have been american greed they were after.

I live in St. Louis but was down in Florida so unfortunatly missed the site!
