Subject: Re: Columbians to allow deportation flights
Military flights happen all the time. You don't turn something like this around midair unless you're trying to push Trump.

Yes, they do. Domestically, it's easy. Where we have bases, it is usually easy. Where we don't have bases, we absolutely need permission before doing it. You cannot enter their airspace otherwise.

You may be too young to remember, but I vividly remember France forbidding us to enter their airspace on a mission to bomb Libya (Khaddafi). Our bombers had to fly around France. My young self was royally p-o'd, and I even resorted to calling slivers of fried potatoes "freedom fries" (that was a thing for a few months after that incident - yeah, I was a naive and uninformed Republican in those days).

You absolutely have to have permission for military aircraft to enter another country's airspace.
