Training Flight - Tues 31st May - Time on Target

Post by 309 Geoff »

All,
The next formal flight is 7th June, Op Salamander. We have nothing planned for the 31st.
I've put a quick mission together to test accurate TOT, against a Power Station. We take off from different air bases, hit a power station at 0500Local with Mavs, and finish with a run and brake landing on Al Dhafra 31L.

We all take off at 0422local, and transit to the same target with different flight plans. All IP's are approx 40nm from the Power Station. I've endeavoured to get all flights the same length and time at 240g/s.

To check the accuracy of our TOT, we will all rifle a single Mav D, at 4nm from target, and all overfly the Power Station at different heights. Could make an interested video.

BOAR Flt
Depart Liwa AFB. Overfly target at 2000ft. I will fly BOAR, as lead.

HAWG Flt
Depart Sharjah Intl. Overfly target at 2500ft.

PIG Flt
Depart Fujairah Intl. Overfly target at 3000ft.

TUSK Flt
Depart Fujairah Intl. Overfly target at 3500ft.

I will test fly the miz tomorrow, and post it here when I'm satisfied. I plan to finish a limited brief before 1600hrs on the 31st.

Is anyone interested in giving it a go? Names please.

Thank you Geoff.
I'm a bit overloaded with work this days, still not sure if I can make it. I will only know a few hours before mission time.

Geoff,

I'm not sure I can make this after all. My son's girlfriend is hopefully popping a baby out today so we will have a first grandchild. https://media.tenor.com/images/2c2fdd70 ... /tenor.gif

I may be on visiting duties this week.

If I can be there, I will be on in good time.

Richard,
Congratulations to you, and your family. I guess from posting the photo so early, you must be feeling very proud.
