Sorry, but I think the idea of needing to overstaff in case of combat attrition is outdated at best.
Ahem. RC-12. U-28. NSA. AT-6 (maybe). Reaper. Global Hawk
The list goes on. They may not be the planes you want, but there are definately lots of new airplanes out that there that came about since and because of this war.
