I agree fully.	The downshift is not mentioned in the
aerospace rules so I wouldn't require it.

Without a doubt.

I'd have a problem with that approach.	Spotters are
needed for precision guided munitions, but UAVs
(abstracted off the DSII table) and other means of
recon are used to target air strikes.  To include
sending aircraft to patrol a certain area and shoot up
anything he sees.  And while the spotter may be
screaming at the pilot about the tank on the hill, if
he can see 20 tanks bunched up on the other side of
the hill, I know which target I'd go after if I were
him.
