Our friends refused to allow us to fly over French territory on April 14, 1986, on a retaliatory bombing attack against Libya. This added 2,600 total nautical miles to the journey from England and back.

It was a bummer that US Forces accidently dropped a bomb on the French Embassy in Tripoli during the mission.
