Re: Jets & Planes but no UAV's here.
I mentioned it because they ARE in the OOB, and shouldn't be.
I know the patch was released in March when the possibility of equiping some squadrons with them was being considered.
Since then NAVAIR has spoken, and as Pat said, they have the final say on what flies and what doesn't in the USN/USMC.

First time I saw a Harrier was about '77-'78 when I watched a truck pull out of the tree line into a small clearing and lay a few sheets of runway matting out.
Then a Harrier passed overhead, came to a hover, and landed.
A fuel truck came out of the tree line and refueled it.
After another truck rolled out and loaded it with ordenance.
Then it took off, straight up.
Finally truck #1 picked up the runway matting.
Whole process start to finish was maybe 15 minutes.
It's REALLY hard to bomb or shell an airfield that only exists for 15 minutes at a time.
