Woff 1965,
I think that the spread of mission times is significantly longer than 90 minutes, even without the possibility of Fairford B-52s transiting via Moron (which has been reported). I'm not sure that AGM-142 is available this time, but would point out that even with -86 and JDAM alone, the potential difference in mission times is enormous. Take off times from Fairford can thus be of little value to Iraq, as you say, especially since with several of the weapon types involved Iraq has no means of doing anything to stop them.

Drapes,
He deserved it, then? Catch yourself on!
