I've been all over the world and visited a lot of strange places , often 
after landing at a remote island or country I would announce over the 
intercom to  my crew that "I bet they have not  seen a U.S. Aircraft 
here- ever." - then as I taxied in a P-2 or P3 would be sitting there 
parked in front of the terminal.    :-)
