In a universe like Saddick Kunt's London where cars and trucks are priced off the road and there is a crappy overpriced public transport system.
ATOM01 WC-135R Constant Phoenix nuke sniffer plane up out of Offutt AFB heading NW.
These planes are not training fighter pilots, they are training ground troops in the art of controlling close air support airstrikes.
Sounds like a complex training scenario, ground battle that escalates into a situation where airsupport is called in.
Create a scenario as realistic as possible.
Train like you are going to fight.
