RE: The "Qatari Base on American Soil" Please don't fall for this fake story. We're training some Qatari military pilots and their support crews at Mountain Home Air Base in Idaho (a USAF facility). We're teaching them how to fly and maintain the F-15QA. Boeing specially built these planes for Qatar, and now we're helping them figure out how to use them. This is something we have done with our military allies for oh... I guess.... maybe... for like THE LAST 70 YEARS OR SO!!!! Yes, as part of the training package we're building some new training sites in Mountain Home that the Qataris are paying for. That is not the same as "building foreign bases on US soil." It's still a USAF base in which the Qataris are our guests. Please do not believe the garbage.
