These guys in Greece had breached the airbase perimeter and were walking on the grounds, knowingly, then fled when approached by guards. | |

| Mar 4, 2023 at 16:49 | comment | added | Spehro 'speff' Pefhany | Not related to your question about the US, but a lot of countries have shared commercial and military airports and that kind of activity would probably draw unwanted attention from the authorities. | |
| Mar 4, 2023 at 13:06 | comment | added | Dave Gremlin | @tedder42 I agree, that's the way it works in the UK, dunno about the US. But I just remembered that a bunch of plane spotters were charged with spying in Greece a while back at a military base: news.bbc.co.uk/onthisday/hi/dates/stories/november/12/… Also, I was prevented from taking photos at a small (commercal) regional airport in India a couple of years ago... | |
