Sorry for the misleading bit about 200 launches/year vs. 200 launches between maintenance. However, thinking on a bit more about the maintenance schedule and recovery plan, I'm left wondering with 50 or so airframes for recovery, why are only about a third of them serviceable and available to VGSs? One presumes a minor should maybe take a day? What about major inspections? When I ran a flying school, my chief engineer would get his parts felt if a 50hr took more than a day and an annual more than 8.

I suppose my query is regarding the efficacy of the recovery and ongoing provision of serviceable airframes.
