Here's the story of "Katie:" http://www.zianet.com/tedmorris/dg/pby.html Edit: forgot to add... DG is one of 33 emergency landing sites for the space shuttle, none of which have ever been used. (freaking long airstrip for a tiny atoll in the middle of no where!) DG is one of 5 GPS control sites for the US military. Back to our regularly scheduled game... NH?
