Hey mapuc,

I think what most People mean is that under normal circumstances it will take at least a few hours to prepare a mission. To get into it I would recommend you the books "Flying the A-10 in the gulf war" or/and "Flying the Strike Eagle in the Gulf war" or from Mr. Rosenkranz "Vipers in the Storm". You will learn that even during Desert Storm a normal Mission took up to eight hours to prepare with several briefings, intelligence Meetings and so on.

But you are also right. In several cases (especially the A-10) there were planes on hot standby and were partly rearmed and refueled with engines running which was a matter of minutes up to an hour. These was made for 3 or 4 missions a day then the planes got cheked for a extended period.

So in my opinion emsoys Statement to create a workaround for a quick mission would be fine in my case.
