		An aerial armada consisting of United States Air Force B-52 Stratofortresses and US Navy planes from four aircraft carrier wings, however, were at hand to provide strong and at times crucial air-support.

		To form an LOC the first step is to brainstorm a list of contacts, friends, and ally organizations in your area to invite to a meeting about the festival.
		An important principle of the festival is that we work to make sure that participation is not determined by who can pay the fees but rather who will best add to the composition and strength of the delegation.

		However, geography still has an effect on the Internet; intercontinental connections are often bandwidth-limited, and while some parts of the world show strong Internet growth, others lag behind for logistical (and political) reasons.
		To design WWW caching hierarchies, server mirroring arrangements, or the location of new ISP peering points it is often necessary to consider the geographic spread of the Internet usage base (as a simple example, the Internet sees a daily usage peak that begins when the US East Coast starts their workday).
		This is also useful for testing newly installed LOC records to check their validity (and reachability).
