Next instalment - Op Dumas - will be held next Tuesday 19th.

I’ll be there. Can I count the rest of 892 Sqn in too?

It looks like we’ll have a SEAD and airfield interdiction task on Tuesday night.

I suggest we have a pair for each task, providing their own self defence, or a pair on cover and a pair doing the tasks?

Preferences anyone?

Would this be a stretch for me
From chat you're OK getting on and off the carrier, you A10 experience will carry over on the nav side, and HARMS are relatively easy to use. So, that said, if we can get together before hand for a flight I reckon certainly you'll be good for a 'mission' experience' and not too tasked A2A excepting. If not a flight of 4 it'll be a 3 anyway so no matter, if you fancy it join in. I'm sure Neil will arrange duties accordingly, maybe, 1 good pair and a rookie pair... Shout if you want a flight later tonight or tomorrow day (spits in evening)
Kind Regards
Chris :)

In at the deep end Wee Neal.

A quick intro to the radar and HARM deployment will see you through.

It sounds like we need to pair up as Chris suggests, and we’ll share tasking, so everyone can self-defend against incoming aircraft in addition to the primary goals.

When can you get into a bit of training Neal?
