Yes, there have been no changes to the original mission.

Good video David!

My thoughts on last night:

- On the whole everything worked well.
- I think for this mission we should have had one flight destroy the C&C at waypoint 1 only, it was way too busy up there at the beginning. The other flights could take off later or hit the tanker first (if the tanker took off earlier).
- Radios comms was good, except when broken in the hills, but we new that would happen and planned for it.

Anyone else got any points we can improve on?

Agreed, there needs to be something the other flights can occupy themselves with whilst the CCC gets taken out by the lead flight.

Also, the tank park at the airfield - they ought to move out as soon as they're hit. No tank crew would just sit there and take fire, they'd bug out immediately.
