We had about thirteen combat-ready Skyhawks, the rest were all trainers or somesuch. I dunno. Maybe she scrapped the plans to upgrade them all to combat-readiness. Blarg.
Not sure on the numbers, but i was sure it was over 30... And yeah, she did. The yanks offered a fucking sweet deal that basically ubered up all the skyhawks at cost price, which the previous gov accepted, then Ms Clark cancelled it.
