wellll there always has to be a moment when there are NO USAF personnel on board
TBH this is just allowing creeping acceptance - we fly it at a few airshows so the GB Public see it , and no doubt lots of pics in the papers, we are ready to use it in action "immediately if needed" and no doubt we'll see a gradual buildup in "necessary training"
I'm willing to bet that no-one will ever sign off a full release but they will just work round it a little here, a little there
