any thing and everything would be pressed into action -depending on the situation in the AO.

Sure - a Chinook wouldnt be sacrificed needlessly against the adversaries purpose built attack planes etc .

But I adhere to the theory that if organization and command chain is kept ,adapting and improvising will recieve merit .Cessnas will be used for scouting and spotting ,and if nothing else is available - Cessnas will be used to try and shoot down the Cessnas etc .

There have been many an improvised airforce in history :
Cuban revolutionaries under Castro and Cienfuegos
Sri Lankan Rebels in Tamil areas
Israeli planes in 1947-1948
Bosniak planes in Bosnia in the early 1990s

and more that I cant recall of the top of my head .

The more sophisticated the system ,the poorer operational stability in terms of T2K.I.e gazillion dollar modern stuff quickly goes down - older tech with cruder parts survive longer .

In any case - lack of good aviation fuel along with any number of other materials and parts will end modern air power and usher in a new era of prop engined death crates with machineguns and smal GP bombs as main armament..

all imho -of course
