I'll see if there's anybody from 42 who would care to give you the good word. 40 are a tad busy at present. It may take a day or three.

From my ancient perspective I loved Harriers for FAC from helicopters. They would invert on pull up from the IP then hit what you wanted. Anything faster was too fast, usually came straight in, had difficulty acquiring the target and hitting it. Mind you, that was in the days of Jaguars, they must have been murder in terms of forward vision.
