Strangeness with Coop in mission editor

[VBF-12_Stick-95]

I am attempting to create a coop mission and I'm starting to place planes on airfield.  Problem is it will only allow 1 player aircraft.  If I attempt to copy it, it makes the second one AI.  If I attempt to change the AI to player it does so but it changes the first one to AI.

 

Here is where it gets into the Twilight Zone.  I have a good coop mission I made a while ago and still works.  It has about 10 spawnable planes in it.  If I run the mission all the a/c spots are available to choose from.  If I look at it in ME however all the spawn points say AI Normal, not player.

 

Think I'm losing it...

You do not place Player aircraft in a coop mission. For all the aircraft that you want to make available to players, set the AI drop-down list to something other than Player and select the Cooperative Start checkbox.  Also, make sure that the mission type is Cooperative. Note that you can still add AI-only aircraft that are not available to players (i.e., the Cooperative Start checkbox is cleared).

I have been away from the me far too long.  Thanks for your quick response.
