re: #27 Alouette

This is the princes’ personal bling fleet. They’re not going to get them dirty or damaged by actually using them to, you know, fight and stuff.

Alouette is more right than he knows.

A high percentage of their pilots are members of the Saudi Royal Family. Family ties and nepotism are no way to select the best fighter pilots. Moreover, none of them will take any risks other than to fire missiles from 50 miles away and then race off in the other direction with soiled underwear.
