The one thing late game Allied floatplanes are good for is bombardment recon, so it is nice if the pools don't run out. I went to junior high in Irvine, CA, near MCAS El Toro, which was very cool for the air show in the years prior to "Top Gun" (i.e. it had about 20,000 attendees vs. 250,000), although less cool having F-4s and A-4s on approach near your house (engines were loud in those days). Anyway, I was surprised at how these California schools had no cafeterias, so you actually had to eat lunch outside on picnic benches. Unfortunately, this attracted gazillions of marine pigeons (i.e. seagulls) as kids would get angry at the birds, throw food at the birds, miss the birds, and then the birds would eat the food thrown at them and multiply. It was a vicious, vicious cycle. I recall getting beaned on the head once, so I did better than most of my classmates. Cheers, CB
