air **note wouldn't recommend w/ passengers, they just may shoot upon landing.**
  
Gyro AirScout Recon / utility
** As some might think,  this helicopter can NOT carry evac / stretchers since it would put to
 much strain on the fuselage.  Because of the weight factors ratio limitations.
  
Harrier Jump Jet Strike / Recon  (certain Mars and Rat units have these
Aircraft they would be at permanent Base's Also each Region base has a squadron of 12 Aircraft
....The Harriers were chosen since they need a small runway and 15m clearing to land in since 
they can go straight up and down like an helicopter.  They also can carry a massive payload or 
surveillance Pods...for high altitude Reconniance.  they were made famous by the British in the
 Falklin War...also the U.S.M.C. use's them on there ships.  A very versatile piece of machinery.
  
NEW MORROW UNITS:
  
RAT (Recon Assault Teams)
This new unit are like Heavy RECON / Light MARS units, they are strictly Tactical units, they 
are more Frequent then MARS units.  They were first placed in the mid-to late 1980's.  During 
the up grades of the teams.  They are assigned every vehicle except the MARS-1 and SCIENCE-1, 
They are also part of and attached to all the Harrier units.  The unit patch is the RECON eye 
with a Rat holding it.   **More info will follow later**
  
S.S.D. (Special Service Division)
This new unit, who name says it all is part of the PHOENIX Division, they are assigned in 12 
man A-Teams groups, which are assigned to each state (continental-48) also 1 section, 25 
personnel are in each REGION base.  Refer to PF 008 for more info.   The unit patch is similar 
to the MARS patch but it has three spears crisis crossed threw it with an shield over lapping it.  These teams were placed nation wide for just the same reason the PHOENIX  was placed at Prime Base...but it was realized that it is just as imperative to cover everywhere at key locations...for each state that has a Region base there isn't any other teams assigned.
**More info will follow later**
