Initial thoughts were definitely of the 412, especially after having just been in Tsunami territory but yes, too much like the boys in green. If someone is going to let off a missile then anything to make it even a little bit more likely to be pointed at someone else is welcome.
Thanks for gen on B versus C. Have found a couple of Bs with P&Ws to look at. Anything particular to watch out for ?
Price on 76B seems to be about US$3-3.5m (plus the anti-missile equipment) depending on condition.
And, yes, the kevlar will be going too ! Initial thoughts were to have the pigeon flying in between some hawks wherever possible.
SASless I'd be really interested if you'd care to share any more gen on security concepts ? Better to follow military ops procs or very obviously do something different ? Probably doesn't matter much to a SAM but the less small arms fire encountered the better...
The hard bit will come later in the year - finding some guys to come fly it. Anjouan...
