On the FI theme, relying on land-based ac would be great - if only they'd built the MPA strip oriented 90 degrees round!

" Hello Mr. Argie, can you only invade when the x-wind is in limits? Thanks, old chap"

At least the carrier won't have that problem.

The point about AAR (or are we still calling it AR now?) is not whether or not you need it, but rather how much more you can achive with it present - that's where the term "Force Multiplier" comes from, methinks. I guess that's just the issue - please Mr. B, all we ask for is a rounded capability - is that too much to ask for?
