Spawning US Patrol Aircraft?

[Traveller]

I was wondering if Allied long-range patrol aircraft spawn from bases. I know the squadrons are there, but strangely I've never seen any flying around in campaign. Anyone seen any?

Never really thought or cared about it, but haven't seen any, nor looked at the file.

I just now realized that there seem to be no patrols spawning. I asked because I'm planning on adding some spawning Allied long-range patrols out of Midway, Pearl, Brisbane, Fremantle, Darwin, Townsville, etc. They won't really affect gameplay too much. Added more for atmosphere.

Sounds good, would add to the flavor.

I have observed US fighters out of Henderson Field and watched them attack Jap destroyers in the slot, but no long-range patrol planes that were the least bit friendly.
