That’s very interesting, Jim

There is obviously no minimum “crash” cover in the form of fire, rescue or 
ambulance – perhaps because it’s not full-size passenger operations out of 
hours. 

I don’t miss night flying. My last trip at night was in 1998, in a Tornado, 
from RAF Brüggen. It’s risky when you can’t see where you’re going ;-)
