Well, to paraphrase an earlier comment, since size and weight are such urgent considerations and not the amount of fuel carried perhaps we should just go with fleet of RJ’s. The airlines are parking them in droves so they’ll be cheap and we could get hundreds of them on any base in the world. Added bonus. They don’t weigh much and they have a small wingspan. Ideal if you ask me. /s/
Sounds like an excellent idea to me!!!
