Spain Has an Airbase Named After GW!
"...Another oil tanker was booked to deliver 28,000 tonnes of aviation fuel from Greece to southern Spain. It is believed to be bound for the Moron air base, used by US Air Force KC10 tanker aircraft to refuel bombers crossing the Atlantic during the Kosovo conflict."

1. I knew this was coming.
While I was in the military, I used to wonder how you would explain being stationed at Moron AB, Spain. I've been laughing at your post for a couple of minutes. I've often made the joke that Moron AB was were * did his TANG service.

Somehow, I don't think Moron is pronounced the same way we pronounce it.
