Neither, think more north!

Although it does seem we could just end up listing airports in the UK before we get there. ;)
 
We are talking really North - the plane touched down to refuel on route from the US to Germany. Elvis (or Sgt. Presley as he was at that time) got off the plane and telephoned his the finance (Priscilla) in Frankfurt.

There is a plaque at this airport to commemorate this occasion (I've seen it) and this airport (although an international airport) is possibly only famous for this brief encounter.
 
This is going to be tougher than I thought. Not Shetlands, but right country though.
 
I'm guessing Saturn.  Since it has the most prominent and widest rings out of the four gas giants, it should have the most numerous, right?
 
Several countries spread across two continents. There is, however, one country which is spread across four continents. Name it!
 
Yes.

France possesses oversea territories that are directly part of the French administrative system. That means that, for example, French Guiana, which is located in South America, is just as much a part of France as Paris or Marseilles. It is part of the European Union (check the Euro bills, it is depicted on the map!), has the Euro, citizens vote for the French president etc. Most oversea possessions of other countries have some sort of special legal status, are semi-autonomous and so on (for example, Greenland, though Danish, is not part of the EU). France also has some territories with similar status -French Polynesia, for example- but also territories that are considered part of the country, which are located in South/Central America, Africa and Oceania.
 
Name 3 out of the top 7 of the longest rivers, streaming in the European Union.

4, 5, 6 or even 7 would be better of course, but let's not make things too difficult. :)
