OT: Ian, Our plane was not in Chinese territory. Their territorial waters extend only 12 miles out to sea. The 200-mile limit is for a country's "exclusive economic zone." In that zone, though vessels from other countries don't have the right to exploit resources (like fishing or mining), but they DO have the right to pass through unimpeded. Also, calling the plane a "spy" plane, though it seems to be common, seems to me to carry a wrong connotation. Spying usually implies doing something by stealth. The E3P plane was out in the open for all to see, and everyone knew that its mission was gathering intelligence. Small point, perhaps, but I think there's a difference between that and "spying." ==John C.
