"...A happy thought, but more then likely, the aircraft are neutered like the Thunderbirds. The smoke oil system is located in the gunbay...."
But they can be retrofitted in short order and returned to the fighter inventory, if needed.

It wouldn't be worth the time and effort it would take. Easier to take other birds from other squadrons. Squadron used to tell us it would take six to eight weeks to get them combat ready.
