   Israel issues a NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) for the north of the country. All civilian airplanes must avoid the airspace excluding police and firefighters.

     @Terry Just so everyone's clear is was "NOTICE TO AIRMEN" until about 2022 or so, IRL anyone who says "air missions" is surreptitiously sending up a soyjak enemyrace flag

     @Hoss @Terry You never know, the collaps4e will lead to many silly situations

     Good chance someone out there will have limited COIN capability, imagine being a state-level employee to attack UN incursions trying to invade for "peacekeeping" because the liberal states have nothing left to loot

     @WashedOutGundamPilot @Hoss @Terry New jets with no parts are virtual trailer princesses and old and easy to patch prop-turboprop planes have a chance as some usable airpower. I love those minimalist fighter planes, it just works for the basics.

     @Whitewall_Blasphemy @Hoss @Terry Turboprops aren't exactly these easy pieces either, their hot section needs pretty expensive overhaul with hardy parts, too, but they have pretty forgiving TBOs and they seem to endure longer periods without care, if the southerners in brazil, africa are any indication.

     I could see a niche for tucanos when these places have reasonable airspace security, we've had the argument on poast a few times: we should have used these all through GWOT instead of burning up our airframes, they'd do a lot of the missions for a lot cheaper.
