- pram 7mo agoWhat an absolutely pointless thing to get pedantic about. Put "spokane washington" into Google images and tell me if that looks like a desert to you.

Wikipedia reports that Spokane has a Mediterranean climate, as does Kohgiluyeh and Boyer-Ahmad province where this F-15 is reported to have been shot down.

- cbron 7mo agoSpokane is not desert. Even surrounding territory is more plains. Some desert military training happens at Yakima much further west.
