TLDR: Qatar is essentially establishing a barracks/Office for its Airforce Pilots on a U.S Airforce Base. So they can receive training to fly F-15s. Given they just bought nearly 50 of them. Any Pilots they send there for training are subsequently under U.S Supervision.
Despite what the cope and seethe online is. No part of the installation is under foreign control. They’re literally just getting beds to sleep in. An Office for paperwork. And space in classes the Air Force is already hosting anyway. Several other countries have similar facilities currently on various bases. Or formerly had them in the past.
Being honest. They may not have even gotten that if we didn’t have to smooth over diplomatic feathers because of the bloody Israelis.
