I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

I like the idea. Bit like the effect the Israelies wanted to achieve - knoick out the Egyptian Air Force. First kill the runways.

Or the classic anti-air-war system. A hard kill can be achieved by killing all the aircraft or killing all the aircrew. Pebble Island was a good case of the former; the Argies were just lucky the guys didn't go for double top.

Bombing Stanley Airport or sinking a cruiser were both EBO. So really what is new?
