On the B767 we can divert to Kalgoorlie, which is only 538km, or Learmonth which is 1061km

When its 1:30am and you've got the choice of Kalgoorlie or Learmonth - Kalgoorlie looks like a beacon of purity and facination!
I'll be off the air for a few days - better hand over to you Brian! (Or whoever wants a go)

EP-3s and EC-135s flew there at one time.

The only Greek airport I can find to match 2 runways with those lengths is
Athens Ellinikon International Airport
....but that's closed !!
