If they can not swoop out, how are those taking off get out?
They are not so much hills as canyons -
lots of canyons. The highest peaks are at 5k and most air bases are 2-5k. I figured on cutting out all the climbing (unless you want to) and being able to dive for airspeed right off the end of the runway. Most towns and V bases will be in the 0 to 1k range. NOEs will be nigh impossible inland from the perimeter bases, so a country can gain a foothold that way but it gets tougher inland. Bnzers can still vulch but if they venture to pick in the canyons, it will be a dicey proposition.
me too i LOVE flying low n slow between the huge hills of your avatar
