TPTB really chafed at the USAF restrictions, because they couldn't do what they wanted (i.e. S/J ship). Which is one reason why I think they went more and more "sci fi" and less "real USAF people and equipment in a sci fi environment" as time went on -- they didn't want to be dependant on the USAF allowing them to use their stuff in exchange for their approval on scripts.
Which is why Atlantis only plays lip service to some of the character beings USAF and doesn't have an advisor to answer to about the details.
