Again, great information guys thank you.
I couldn't find anything on where the USSOUTHCOM was in that time period so thanks, looks like it doesnt have to move after all.
And I didnt know that about the PCZ, that makes the move even easier I think. But there would still be anti US protests it would seem, many Panamanians fought US control for years.
Anyone have any thought about using the SAM's versus Mig's if the range was an issue?
