Paul,
If there is a server free tonight, would it be possible to add the miz I circulated at 1209hrs today. We can then use SRS.. If not, we can use my machine.

Richard,
Welcome aboard.

All,
I was quietly pleased with last nights flight. Looking at TacView, we destroyed all the AAA, and vehicles. Only infantry remained. Remember, the quicker we destroy the AAA and vehicles, the quicker we can call Springfield to pick up the prisoners.

I made a serious mistake with the take off time. Our TOT is 0700Z, and flight time at 220ind is 56mins to target. Take Off time is now 0604Z, and not 0627Z. On the night, I suggest you get into the pits and start up, ASAP.

Here is the final brief:-

I've made several changes, namely:-
Take Off time.
Cruise altitudes to target.
Bingo now 3200lbs.
Flt 2 litening pod on right wing.

Paul, I am looking less likely to be up and running for this mission. You had best find someone else to lead. I will be there if I can make it.

Image below shows the outcome of our test flight on the 19th. All AAA had been destroyed, and the BMPs/BTR's are on fire.
You can see the scale, with only 2650ft between WP10 and WP13. Hence, no clusters.
