Here's an interesting thought as aircraft get fewer and fewer and transit times get greater......
In the olde days a unit that I know of was completing an average of about 3 tasks an hour.
I wander what the average sortie times are now?
Of course with greater transit times there is a greater cost per task. Are Forces burning their annual budget based on flying hours now on aircraft travelling long distances to get to the incident?
Less efficient than the olde days one might say.......
