“”bomb Kadaffi’s tent compound””
Supposedly a daughter of his was killed in that bombing. I can’t remember who wrote about the flight of the bombers and the time spent/wasted trying to get and being denied permission to overfly a country to achieve that bombing?
IIRC, France denied the US permission for the F111s to fly over France. They instead went over or around Spain, necessitating a lot of mid-air refueling. A long, tiring flight to the target and then the same thing for the return.
