And while I agree the nation could probably generate a 140-tail sortie, the real feat will not be for the MX-group or pilots but rather the C2 group. Can you imagine the ATC trying to manage that airspace?? It'll be interesting to see what blocks they use as well... Will they play it safe and keep a wide separation between airframes or will the much more impressive low-level routes be approved for that crowd-pleasing show of force? <BR/><BR/><I>(Even more fun is to speculate on the fall-out if there should be an aircraft "incident" that results in a huge fireball! After so much publicity and grandstanding, if there are any foul-ups I'd think the term "heads will roll" would gain a much more literal interpretation within the IRIAF!)</I>Storms24https://www.blogger.com/profile/14360242925876169578noreply@blogger.com
