No need to apologise Danny, it looked like hard work from down in the weeds. We thought it a valiant effort to get a second shot at the SA-6 but we didn't have the fuel to make the most of it. As stated, there are a lot of things to learn from and the attitude I see here is just what RAFAIR needs - ...

41(F) Sqn AAR We had a small traffic jam when heading to the runway, but hand in the air I had programmed the wrong freq into our jets for Akrotiri so we didn't hear the A10 call. That will be fixed for the next time, my apologies to the A10 crowd who were kind enough to make space to let us through...

All changes noted. As requested, here's our flight brief for tomorrow. It's a template we use for all flights, with wpn aide memoire for last-minute refresh before flying, notes on countering Red Air etc. If anyone wishes to use this as a basis for their own briefs, please help yourself. If anyone w...

We were not unhappy with anything, this was just a first try at a new system as far as we're concerned. We did hear the "Action Time" call and stuck to our timings pretty well. So it didn't all go exactly to plan, but it was close enough to warrant another go in my opinion. To be honest I don't thin...

OCU After Action Report Short evening for us, takeoff and route were good but target area was alive with SAM systems, none had been surpressed. We had insufficient numbers to field the SEAD pair but against an SA10 and two Hawk batteries, they wouldn't have made a dent. The cruise missiles were prob...

TOT PLANNING Do you have an idea of TOT's for the port attack, bearing in mind the SEAD requirement around the port. We have slotted a SEAD/SWEEP pair on the front of the package just in case any SAM's remain. If there are no SAM's left, they are equipped to assist in the CAP task as you direct. The...

Hi again Alan, we've cast our planning eye over the map and threats - we have sufficient valleys and high granite to cover an approach to Maykop we think. Is there any chance that we can have a .miz with just the SAM sites and any ships shown on your map please as we can't make out which valleys to ...

Very useful. Do you have max/min operating heights and ranges for these?

Monthly Update for June Another good month on the OCU with good attendence and progress with the SOP and Lesson rewrites. We have flown 12 mission flights this month with a minimum of 6 ac per formation with varied success and 14 training nights. We have a mission called WMD's at Jarhom which consis...

See you tomorrow.
