Can't let you get away with this "Sharkey-ganda" m8. Shame on you.

Do you uinderstand the concept of Rules of Engagement, Collateral Damage and Risk Estimate Distances? If so, you'd realise what a very silly statement that is.
And shouldn't you really drop the "sortie rate" argument in favour of "time on task". How
many times an ac takes off and lands is irrelevant (except that ac tend to go u/s more often when they are shut down), it's how long on task they can stay, which is usually down to availability of AR assets.
