B Word - don't want to appear a pedant but "The ability to project power from the air and space to influence the behaviour of people or the course of events" can equally apply across the whole spectrum of conflict and types; eg a Nimrod can (sorry, could...) project power either kinetically or with sensors, a RW dropping troops on an objective can seriously influence an enemy as can a FJ "Show of Farce" (spelling deliberate!) The obsession with FJ types thinking that they are the only practioners of air power is as outdated, as, well, I don't know, a maritime nation having a LRMP aircraft....
