Assuming the RoT never joined the USA, they'd need lots of those to patrol a very long border.    See http://www.bigheadpress.com/roswell?page=1 for another approach at an independent Texas (and some of the air vehicles there would be interesting to model).

With 5,000 triplanes, controlling this border will be easy...
