In my last campaign Major Po's group picked up a USAF F-15 pilot in Poland and he remained with them all the way back to CONUS. He'd fired an ASAT missile back in '97 too. Was posted to Europe as a replacement in a fighter squadron and ended up behind the lines when his F-15 fell out of the sky due to a catastrophic component failure.
