Dont be so sure on that last one. They were finding quite inventive
ways
as
to what could be classified as a "support" aircraft. It will probably
be
some
time before it is fully declassified as to what aircraft flew from
where,
but a
certain country east of Iraq that begins with a J was utilized too.
It is no secret that the US flew over Israel and Jordan to strike Iraq.
The
aircraft carrier parked of Isreal in the Med was a hint. Overflying
Saudi
only became an issue after USN kept crashing cruise missiles in the Saudi
Desert.
I was hinting at the fact that we did fly aircraft from Jordan.
Then tell us "a certain country [WEST] of Iraq".
Had me going for a while what you were talking about...
