The tiny island country has claimed hundreds of American military aircraft

Interesting article, & why do tourists nearly always seem to lack common sense or fail to understand local conditions?

Interesting.

Looks like the Navy and the Icelanders have and understanding.

It also appears that tourists the world over fail to pay attention to the 'Don't feed the animals' or other signs that are intended to keep them from doing foolish things.
