Re: Why not jet AOPs?
Why not jet AOPs? Because you don't have the rank to call them in. The Mirages fly out of Onandagua and the photointerp is done there, or in Windhoek. By the time it gets to you, the pics are several hours old, and the tac data is out of date. The IIIRZs are for finding out if the Cubans are coming and in what general direction. Then, you call in your Kudus for a close look. Occasionally an AOP will call in a strike mission, but that's usually done by a ground FAC or the OC in a helo.
