#8  No market for them. They were doing poorly in world market sales. Training has been going on now for quite some time. Modify to handle long range Scalp missiles perhaps but a one way trip I suspect.

#3  Assuming you start with trained pilots, how long does it take to get up to speed on a new plane with new weapons systems? I don't mean just pass the multiple-choice test, I mean fight the plane in real-time.

How long to train a pilot assuming you start from scratch?

Probably simplest to have the 'instructors' fly the missions. As long as they don't get shot down, who's gonna know!
