Poor Steve, he doesn't want to be inconvenienced and he'd rather have
those guys and gals who strap their butts into the big iron go to war
to protect him without being properly trained. Maybe they need a
community relations program at Cannon in which guys like Steve get
taken for a ride so they could get a clue. About 30 minutes of
air-to-air should do the job.

Airspace is airspace. There are no comments about anyone not wanting our
pilots to be properly trained. There should be a big chunk set aside, say,
out over the pacific or something, for all the air to air training. They
would be able to turn and burn and go mach whatever without worrying too
much (oh, they do that already?). If the folks need to do the air to
ground work, there is already plenty of space out in Nevada and Calif set
aside for that. Why all the airspace grabs these days?
You need to take a gander at where the air assets are based these days. And
not just the active duty folks, either. Gonna get kind of expensive to have
the ANG F-16's out of Upper Kumquat in Indiana or Illinois being trolled
along by a continuous stream of KC-135's out to your mythical Massive
Pacific MOA during their weekend drill, huh?
