DD,
I'm not interested in getting into a p*ssing contest - all I'm trying to do is ensure that people are discussing the situation with as accurate as possible information.
In terms of the requirement for a future MPA, you stated that top cover for SAR helos either isn't happening, or isn't important. All I was trying to do is correct that statement, by pointing out that it is, and it is!!
Enjoy the rest of the thread!
