Since you raised the subject and I'm at an age where I hate rewriting history especially if I remember first hand.

At least twice Dr. Savage said that Ayatollah Khomeini went back to Iran from London when Mohammad Reza Pahlavi was removed. No Ayatollah Khomeini was in France, a suburb of Paris I believe.

It took a brave Air France crew to fly the chartered jet to Iran.. many thought that the Iranian military would shoot it down.

Ayatollah Khomeini spent time in (Sumni) Turkey and Iraq before going to France where followers swarmed 24/7 with tons of money.

Yes, that's my recollection, too.
