WASHINGTON — The United States plans to maintain a military presence in Honduras for at least three to five years and is drawing up agreements with the Honduran government as part of the buildup, an Air Force memo released today said.
The memo also referred to “long-range master planning for the five aerial ports” and said, “We are now working the Palmerola 1990 plan.” The five airfields are at Palmerola, Goloson, La Mesa, Toncontin and Trujillo, all of which have been built or improved by U.S. engineers.
