[edit] Infringement?

Why does this articlelook the same, word for word? This might help [1].

From GlobalSecurity.org "In 1939, the Great Falls Airport commission appealed to Harry H. Woodring, Secretary of War, to locate an Air Corps squadron at Great Falls, Montana. In 1941, the Civil Aeronautics Authority provided the money for the development of the Great Falls Municipal Airport. In May 1942, construction began on an Army Air corps base six miles east of Great Falls. The base was known as East Base."

All paragraphs in this article are the same word for word. I’m wondering why this is so.--Hellogoodsir 19:22, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia - Supposed Star Trek appearance

In the science fiction film Star Trek: First Contact, the "first contact" with alien visitors takes place at a "missile silo in Montana". Although countless missile silos pepper the Montana countryside, many Trekkies originally believed that the scene was meant to take place at or near what was once Malmstrom AFB, given nearby Great Falls' high occurrence of UFO sightings since the 1950s.

It was later revealed by producers that the scene was meant to take place at a missile silo in the forests outside of Bozeman, Montana.
