Alan,
Any chance it will be ready for testing tomorrow, the 5th? We don't have any plans at the moment for our Tuesday flight.

Paul, the mission has gone to Andrew - a copy is attached for your info.

I will prepare a full brief by this weekend. I am happy to lead if you wish, or content to fly as a wingman.

I have planned 4 ac, each with 2 x with Mav, plus M282 and M151, and 8800 lb fuel - giving a TOW of42k. Take-off 0537, for a TOT of 0507.

Outline plan is to cross the hills, then transit at 100-200 ft agl and 215 kias. Pull up to 200 ft agl at 15 nm to tgt, approaching the IP. Take out 3 Tunguskas with Mav, then turn to the south for 4-5 nm to establish a run-in loop from the south, using APKWs and guns a/r, staying at 1000 ft agl or less. Departing pretty much the same way.

The route and the target area is surrounded by radars and SAMs, but if we stay on track, we should be OK from ground fire, other than from the 3 target Tunguskas. The main risk (other than AD fighters), is going to be from collisions or collateral damage from our own ac and weapons.
