Unless either I'm blind, or everyone else houserules it, fighter 
endurance doesn't count turns spent in transit to and from objectives.	
Only combat turns, and they get six of those.  You could fly for fourty 
turns, fight for four, break off, and get home with a two-turn combat 
reserve.  It's just that most people don't want to go to the nuisance 
of dealing with off-board carriers.  Hell, some people don't do 
off-board artillery when playing Dirtside.  Which leads to little 
chunks of artillery pieces bouncing all over the desert due to one 
little ol' FISTV getting LOS.
