A-10C Training - 24 Mar 2020

Post by Flyco »

I will run my server on Tuesday evening, if anyone wishes to do some A-10C Training.

I have 2 set-ups ready: the first is for two coordinated, but separate 4-ship low-level airfield attacks. The second is for CAS attacks, again for up to 8 A-10Cs. In addition there is tanking, formation, and general training available.

I am starting work on a larger A-10C session, but that is unlikely to be ready for tomorrow.

If anyone has any specific areas of A-10C operations they would like me to try to cobble together, please let me know.

A series of briefs etc are attached for tonight's mission. They are probably an overkill, but should serve if we go for a full OCU course in the future.

The Hog fight, is basically the same one we flew last time, but a bit tarted up.

Pig flight is similar but slightly more complex. Both are intended to be flown concurrently. I had planned to try Pig this evening, but if there are sufficient attendees, we can fly both. At a pinch either could be flown as a pair, although Pig does have two separate target groups.

Briefing at 1930.

Many thanks for last night.
After reviewing Monday and Tuesdays results I have been brushing up on GB12 release and have been practising this morning with success. (after discussing with others, and reading brief again, I realise last nights ordnance was Mk 82's, I obviously need to brush up on these too) :oops:

Gbu12 are really a confidence thing Andrew.

The most important thing is not to forget to select the weapon in first place. The number of times I ran in on early days when everything looked perfect only to get no drop.

Now I make sure the station is selected before I do anything else
