True..remember during the Raid on Qadafi, "Operation El Dorado Canyon"when our supposed allies..including the frigging French, Spanish, and Italians..wouldn't allow us to overfly Europe..forcing the strike package to go the long way around..necessitating 2 extra refuelings..the USAF study after the raid attributed the loss of the one plane, and the two man crew, in part to pilot fatigue due to the long flight...
