I've started work on planning this flight.

We have 4 pilots for this mission. Here's my brief outline plan:-

Two flights,
Flt 1, Hawg 1 & 2, are Geoff & Luis. We operate from IP 1, right hand obit, and take down SAM One & ZSU One.

Flt 2, Hawg 3 & 4 are Paul & Richard. They operate from IP 2, left hand orbit, and destroy SAM Two & ZSU Two.

Then destroy all air defences, then vehicles, before inviting 60Sqn to the party. Still operate from your IPs.

If called to help 1(F) on the beach, Flt 2 will move to IP 3, left hand orbit. Flt 1 also attack the beach from IP 1, right hand.

Changes are:-
1. We now take off and land using r/w25 at Kutaisi.
2. Aircraft are parked at the NE end of the airfield. Only short distance to taxi for r/w25.
3. WP IP 3 has been deleted. Only 2 IPs now.
4. Landing will be in trail, for a turn onto base leg for landing. We were planning on a run and brake for r/w 07.
5. Take off will be 0406Z.

Brief to follow in the near future.
Sorry Chaps.
