putting the aircraft away after each flight will obviously mean that your response time is greater. so I guess from the above comments john q taxpayer wants his air support instantly if not sooner ! Can't respond if its damaged ,can but slower if not, take your pick.Only other consideration is how likely is it to be attacked.If you want the response time AND safety its going to cost john q taxpayer more for the added security at which point he'd probably accept the slower response time.
