How best to make ithistorically fair?

I don't think historical accuracy and fairness are compatible, in this case.

As I understand, the RAF turned around fighters in under a quarter of an hour, but they used a different set of pilots for the second sortie, while the first group of pilots had breakfast, or lunch, or maybe a quick nap. This is why personal aircraft were rare, even later in the war. A pilot flying multiple sorties in a day was probably normal, but they wouldn't usually have been consecutive.

well whichever way this issue sorts itself out will be fine by me. I don't really know what implementation Oleg has planned, but I'll be cool with it. Lexx and Igo, thanks for your input. Let the battle begin! Well...someday anyway.

The most important thing IMHO is having a reason to taxi to a refueling and rearming area, instead of the aircraft just disappearing on the runway. The time of the tournaround should be adjustable to suit the off-line player and On-line server.

that sounds reasonable, but remember that at some point you'll want to go pee (water the horse, take a whiz, drain the lizard, etc) so if you make the refit time too short you'll need a piddle-pack.

Just don't drink any beverages within 8 hours of mission start.

Bah I have to think of everything.
