capability (what the heck is "S/VTOL"?) to allow them to both provide
air

An olden days description of a plane that could do
Short take-offs or landings
or
Vertical take-offs or landings.

It does seem to have fallen out of use some time in the last
thirty years.

Damn, I'm old enough now that new fangled terms have
reached the forgotten obsolescent state...

Uhmmm..that would have been "V/STOL", wouldn't it? Not to be picky, but ol'
Henry can be a royal pain in the ass and correcting his mistakes helps in
keeping his rants in perspective.
