“Air Force fighter/attack aircraft flew an average of about 200 hours per year in 2000, gradually declining to about 125 hours per year on average”

These numbers seem very low. Question for some of the FR experts. If we get in a war and need to fly nightly sorties, are our planes capable of thousands of hours of flight time per year?

They could be, but they still won’t fly because there will be no supporting budgets, maintenance or spare parts availability. Funds will be drained off to support important woke causes and social justice issues.
