I have no doubt they are. I just has the impression/assumption that the reserves would get the second rate stuff. Say a unit gets its new F-22's, and whatever they were flying before goes to the reserves, that sort of thing.
Clearly I was wrong. Still seems odd to me tho, but I know nothing so meh to me!
