I enjoyed your comment about the SHAR's pityful fuel load. At least we fight on the ACMI with our tanks on, unlike the F3 who comes to pay without tanks because 'in combat we would drop our tanks.' We always ended up doing in-house combat at the end of an ACMI sortie after the F3s bingoed home.
Hopefully AMRAAM might be integrated into the F3 by the time Typhoon finally comes on line!
