My understanding has always been that F-117 aren't undetectable, but have a radar return that is small enough to be filtered out both electronically and by human decision-making. And then, even if you know something is there, it can be ...

RE: BACN (Battlefield Airborne Communication Node)

<t> I don't have PE, so YMMV.<br/>

I think that if you wanted to model this properly, it would be with datalinks, and create a comms package on each of the appropriate platforms. That way you could model a situ where for example, you have an asset in a mountainous valley with BACN contact ...

RE: Planning Scenario 1 Invasion

<t> If you really want, I can go back into my notes, but I'm fairly positive that the planes from Langley left with tankers to support 4 F-15's each, and they covered the fueling from CONUS to Lejas where the first of 6 inflight refuelings happened. They then flew through the Med, not overflying any ...

RE: Aircraft readiness

<t> "Aircraft Ready" means that the airplane is ready to taxi and take-off with the current fuel and loadout. These would be your "ready" aircraft with pilots in their seats. Keep in mind, there still is the taxi time and take off time. Depending on the airport, (and number of runways) there is a ...
