Only less of everything, planes, crews, etc. BTW, USAAF, RAF, IAF, PLAAF, etc. everyone does the same thing. It was much worse during the Cold War anyways.

Nope, Krauthammer stole that line from me!!

No, seriously I had not read that but I have read a number of stories about what a hard%@# he is. Just seemed like the right thing to say.
