Harrier force but I dont recall anything about Eurofighter operating
in such a mode.

AFAIK only Sweden, Poland and (maybe?) Finland practise this capability.
I know that it was demonstrated with NATO Jaguars.

Does anyone else out there strongly feel that the folks at the TV
Networks who have censored out Daffy's beak getting blown off (Shoot
Me NOW!) deserve to be stripped naked, tied face down over a chair,
covered with moose musk, and set in the migratory path of a large
moose herd?

Singapore is an island nation, and a small one at that, so there aren';t a
lot of long roads. The rest is just humor.
