I did think it was comical the way that the propaganda ministry parked 7 or 8 "dormant" jungle jets against the Alph gates fence at sdf the week of the vote closing.
That TA would not have generated enough hiring to save those airframes. The fun is just beginning. I'm currently stuck in the "No Movement Zone" because of the training backlog.
