Sadly sometimes true. Other members will know better than me that on at least one occasion a brace of FI Typhoons has scrambled with the tanker in tow, only to find MPA below minimums for a return. Leaving them forced to ask would the Argies mind very much if we overflew to land somewhere more friendly! Nothing like advertising the fact. Argie SF on standby for just such a recurrence one might imagine, scratch the remaining 2 Typhoons, game over. Feel free to point out any glaring anomolies/ paranoia/ painful truth in this statement
