I dont care WHAT the people from soc.culture.cuba who have followed me up here say. Becuase I LIVE in Australia, I am NOT SUBJECT to the travel restrictions on Cuba. I am ONLY subject to AUSTRALIAN laws, regarding Cuba travel, and current Australia law ALLOWS travel to Cuba. And second, there is no POSSIBLE way they could make the restrictions apply if you do not LAND in the United States. The United Stats is NO jurisdiction WHATSOEVER in either New Zealand, or Argentina. Do you believe that if you ever go to the US, the US could prosecute you for your prior trips to Cuba? |

It simply means that the post will dissapper from Google Groups 6 days after it receives that post. Switch off about 5 years ago. Sorry William, but this actually showed up in Google Groups When Dip****8 added his stupid little no-archive message to a post: Note: The author of this message requested that it not be archived. This message will be removed from Groups in 5 days (Apr 24, 9:18 pm). But then, if you were Dimwit8, you'd want your posts to disappear too. Funny thing, though, is that Halfwit8 forgets to add that no-archive request... a lot. So a lot of his lunacy still shows up. -- dgs |

Whether or not the US authorities bother to track some demented ex-pat idiot traveling between another country and Cuba is another matter. I'd be delighted if you got caught, though, and even happier if you got to spend some extended time in Gitmo. -- No those restrictions DO *NOT* APPLY, beccuase 1. I do not LIVE in America 2. I use an AUSTRALIAN passport 3. I do not LAND in America going between Australia and Cuba Yes, they do, you brain-dead piece of ****. If your flight was inadvertently diverted to the USA, and it was discovered that you were an American citizen, you'd be subject to penalties. The laws apply, no matter how unlikely it is that you'll actually get caught, but you're too stupid and delusional to understand that. -- dgs |

Really? Then why did the BA 747 on a LAX-LHR non-stop flight, after loosing an engine just out of LAX end up diverting to Glasgow? There are lots of reasons why one does not always divert to the nearest airport. A 4 engine plane is not required to divert or land at nearest airport upon loss of a single engine. The BA crew elected to continue because they felt they could reach LHR safely. However, their fuel consumption increased, and they were forced to land before reaching LHR because they would not have had sufficient fuel reserves to legally reach Heathrow. This is different from an aircraft wanting to land at Heathrow but upon reaching it, finds Heathrow is closed and needing to divert to the nearest alternate. (because at that point, they would be running on fuel reserves). For ETOPS aircraft, loss of one engine requires/required immediate landing at the nearest airport with suitable runway. are just too stupid to 1) think of them AND 2) understand them when you are told what they are. A plane intented for a cuban destination would most definitely find a cuban alternate if its destination airport were closed for some reason. If all of Cuba were closed due to hurricane, then the plane might divert to puerto rico, dominican republic or miami or other caribean destination depending on where it was coming from and at what point in flight it was told all cuban airports were closed. |

A flight between Buenos Aires and Havana is NOT going to get diverted to the United States. Miami, the only airport in southern Florida where a 747, DC10, or A340 can land, is about 230 miles beyond Havana, while Varadero, where those aircraft can land, is only 90 miles away.to the east. If a flight gets diverted, it would obviously go to th neastest alternate, that, being in Varadero. Can you explain why you believe PBI and FLL aren't able to land a 747? What about flights to Europe? From Cuba, doesn't Great Circle take them closer to the US coastline than any other land mass for HOURS after take off? What are they going to do if there is a problem, head back to Cuba? |
