This Washington Post article continues our previous discussion of our French “allies”. Apparently, the Pentagon is not ready to start playing nice, “disinviting” France from participating in Red Flag exercises (the USAF version of Top Gun) next year. Also, U.S. aircraft will not perform aerial demonstrations at the Paris Air Show. Best quote from the article: “A defense spokesman said yesterday that slots for foreigners in Red Flag…in which France has participated annually since the 1980s, ‘are going to be reserved for those with whom we will likely be participating in operations in the future.’”
