Er.... They were flown in Canada? Or the pilots were from the areas you mention for each skin?

There must also be a flyable computer available for Nefarious to do FSO. So he doesn't keep talking about it for eight and a half hours on Friday night!

Yeah, the Canadian locales are the places the pilots hailed from, some Spits were in Canada at the time but were PR versions used mostly for mapping.  Home defense was offered by Hurris instead.
