 This is endlessly debated in my working circles.  The advantage is

to 
 the jet if he gets spotting.  This can come from visual or from AWACs. 
The 
 footage of the HH-60 shootdowns in Iraq (blue on blue by F-15s) shows
it 
all. 
  The helos do not even see the attack coming (Not that they were
worried 
 about being attacked by their own planes but they were still in a
dangerous 
 area).   >>

Didn't British Harriers shot down one or more Argentinian Huey UH-1's
during 
the Falklands?
