Overlapping Stations
Please can somebody help this poor soul make sure he understands the situation.
If overlapping stations result in a closer - a gap occurs or the span of the surviving stations increase and with it the response times to places previously served by the (now closed) station. In addition, the required range of the cab must increase or its time on task reduces or it needs somewhere to refuel. Flexibility is lost and the total deployable assets reduce. Is that right or what have I missed or not understood.
Moving on please (in my day the helios had the callsign PEDRO and the fixed wing topcover was PLAYMATE so you see how long it's been). What now provides top cover or coordination in the more complex rescues? I have heard tell that a C130 has been used but don't know if this is just gossip or fact.
