Possible Training for Tuesday 6th April - Illumination Rockets.

Post by 309 Geoff »

All,
It looks like there is no formal mission for tonight. If that's the case, I have a mission, nearly complete, to test out attacking targets under illumination rockets.

To summarise:-
1.Take off from Al Minhad at dusk, and transit to a single target in trail.
2.Lead aircraft illuminates the target, and each pilot, in trail, attacks leads' illuminated targets.
3.After this attack, each pilot detaches to their own offset/waypoint.
4.From your own offset, you illuminate, and attack, your own targets, or just illuminate. You have plenty of M257 flares to try out.
5.Recover to Al Minhad.

The brief is nearly complete. If interested, I'll post the brief around 1300hrs.

You will need this mod:-

Andrew,
Glad you're on board. Tonight will be a new experience for you. No mission editing. No brief to give. No flack if it all goes wrong. You deserve a drop in pressure.

Another excellent training mission. Thanks Geoff.
I enjoyed all aspects, it all looked beautiful in the night. I'm looking forward to the video tomorrow.
