swapping aircraft between bases

[dfscott]

Is there any way to swap aircraft between two bases when all the hangers are full?  IOW, I have 2 small hangers filled with Stilletto 1 and 2 in Base A, and 2 small hangers filled with Stiletto 3 and 4 in Base B.  I want to move #1 to Base B and #2 to Base A.  Is there any way to manually launch an interceptor (without a UFO target) so that I can can have an available hanger to do a transfer?

Every craft has homebase assigned, and occupies its hangar even when in air. While launching aircraft without target is possible, you can't use it to exchange homebases. There is as far as I know no way to directly exchange homebases.

Ok, thanks for the info!

Sell it and buy it back in the new base.  I haven't tried it, but I don't see any difference in the buy/sell price, so that should effectively transfer it to the new base.

That would not work. Any items you put on would lose.

also selling is 90% of buying price

Yep - time is the issue. If I didn't care about the time involved, any of these workarounds would be fine, but I can't afford to tie up two of my four interceptors for that long.
