I know many in the fleet would like to see 801 run-on until we have sufficient T45 to plug the gap. That would mean three years or so. 801 would have to expanded by absorbing part of 899 to cover the new pilot training needs, but money is the issue as always. It would also reduce the pool of pilots available for the GR9 fleet which has higher priority. The FA-2s are now owned by Strike Command and I'm sure the Airships would not want to sacrifice anything for the navy.
