France pledges to shoot down private pilots in D-Day air space
May 31, 2004
BY BEN FENTON [Ad]

ARROMANCHES, France -- Private pilots who stray into Normandy air space
during the 60th anniversary of D-Day next weekend will be shot down,
French
officials said Sunday.
With at least 16 heads of state, including President Bush, attending the
ceremonies, organizers are guarding particularly against an al-Qaida
attack
from the air.
It is one of the biggest security exercises in Europe since the war.
An enormous network of radar equipment has been stretched between
Deauville
and Cherbourg, with early warning aircraft already in the skies.
The aircraft will be joined this week by small, remote-controlled drones.
Advanced Crotale anti-aircraft missiles have been primed, and two
squadrons
of Mirage 2000 fighters are stationed nearby.
The French ministry of defense has spared no expense. It has established a
temporary air base at Carpiquet, outside the city of Caen, as the hub of
its
defenses.
There, more than 800 soldiers will maintain round-the-clock surveillance,
backed by more than 50 military helicopters.
A spokesman for the 120-acre camp said: "The dangers are multiple, from a
hijacked airliner being crashed into the stands at the main international
ceremony at Arromanches to a tiny bomb being detonated remotely.
"But we are stretching an impenetrable fabric of protection above
Normandy."
At sea, fishermen and pleasure craft have been banned from the Seine Bay
that stretches along the beaches code named Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and
Sword on June 6, 1944.
A French carrier, Charles de Gaulle, and an American carrier, George
Washington, will be patrolling the bay, which will also be swept for
mines.
On land, more than 9,000 French troops are arriving this week,
supplementing
the 6,300 gendarmes and 2,300 police officers already on duty.
Arromanches' 534 residents have been told that they must either stay
indoors
throughout next Sunday or leave the area.

mean like Cheney giving Billions of dollars of business to his chums at
Halliburton, whets the difference apart from Cheney is ripping off the US
tax payer.

The French "invented" air to air kills with the shoot down of a german on
the 8. october 1914
The french pilot was Sergant Frantz.


So... No it it would not be the first kill.... Second perhaps ? :-)

I'll have to do some checking. Would this be the first time the French
have managed to shoot down any plane, anywhere? :-)

A bit on the side but a small reflection:

Is not France a member of the International Crime Court ?
Do they not have an obligation to arrest suspected warcriminals like Bush
and Blair ? So should they not simply stay at home to avoid a moral problem
of NOT arresting them?
They should after all be arrested... but in the real world this would start
WWIII...
