		Combat Air Patrol (CAP) Overview: --------- The Peacemakers regularly fly CAP missions between 2 bases(100 - 150 miles apart) in a predetermined campaign area.
		They will spawn/respawn into the game and engage all other players (bogies) as necessary and often use CFO weather to fly at different times of the day under various weather conditions (only time of day is typically visible to zoners).
