Just going on what Major Reid said this morning, he would love more assets in order to reduce the response times. Personnel is a big thing.
In regard to the fixed-wing aspect of it, in my conversations with the boys of 103, when they're working at night.... You referred to the flare situation. There have been occasions--and this is anecdotal; I don't have any evidence. There have been occasions where the Hercules is behind, depending on where the incident occurs, because it has to come from Greenwood and it's at night.
The boys of 103 could be there in a very short space of time. To generate the Herc and get him to catch up and drop its flares, on occasion that has delayed the exercise. Major Reid said this morning that they turn up coincidentally. Yes, they do. But there have been occasions because they're not co-located. Again, in Gander, if it's north of Gander, you have the problem of the Herc arriving later than the Cormorant. Having them co-located would be rather nice.
