    There seems to be a lot of planes parked outside like a Voodoo, Neptune and C-47 besides an F-14, Mig-29 and a weird helicopter seen from the top of Googlemaps.

    Cheers,

        No worry Jim....Just goes to show what a lack of imagination some of the elected officials suffered from when coming up with new names of places for people to live...LOL:tongue-out3: Rick H.

          2 Springfield 41
          3 Franklin 35
          4 Greenville 30

              Washington originated in the UK as well…..it’s name came from a town in the land of the Why Aye! Near Sunderland. I don’t think they were plagiarised though. I think the original settlers came from that particular town in the UK and named the new place after the one they came from. New Hampshire comes to mind..

                That, BTW, is why The Simpsons is set in Springfield.

                You get that everywhere people colonised foreign lands, or moved to (nominally) settled countries to make a better life for themselves.
