‘Just days earlier,
Venezuela’s Vice-President Ramón Carrizalez had publicly
denounced the intromission of a US military plane also originating from
the air base in Curaçao during 2009. The governments of
Washington and Holland denied the violation, yet Carrizalez revealed an
audio recording between the Venezuelan airport control tower and the US
pilot while inside Venezuelan airspace.
The pilot stated clearly
that he was flying a US Navy military plane stationed at the base in
Curaçao. He claimed ignorance as to the violation of Venezuelan
territory, stating he was “unaware” he had entered an
authorized zone. But the US military plane hadn’t just merely
crossed a border that some might argue is difficult to visualize,
rather the pilot had flown over a strategic Venezuelan military base on
La Orchila, a small island off Venezuela’s northern coast,
clearly well inside Venezuelan territory. This was not an isolated
incident.’
