Tonight’s mission will be Op Northern Clout. This is a change to the planned mission due to reduced numbers - apparently people need holidays!

Pre-flight briefing - 19:30 hrs Alpha.

Take off - 20:00 hrs Alpha.

Please note missions may be recorded and published, including voice track. If you wish to make a recording, please make the mission commander aware prior to joining the server. All pilots should assume their comments may reach a wider audience, and act accordingly.

[309 Geoff]

My leave chit has already been signed. Spending one week in Lincolnshire, close to Binbrook. May extend into a second week.

[john (scooby)]

Any clarification on this Neil?

[Neil Willis]

In a change to the program, Op Portcullis is now delayed due to holidays reducing our numbers. We will instead now be flying Op Northern Clout..

[Flyco]

This will be an ad hoc version of Northern Clout. I am having problems assigning ac to targets, without info on how many of what types will be manned.

I assume that the F-16s will not be available, that the A-10s will be around 5-8, and that the F-14s will be around 6-8. But indications of how many pilots would be available to fly the SEAD (F-18s) and airfield attack missions (in F-18s or AV-8B) would be useful

ASAP please.

Just 1 / 2 Harriers Flyco, some are AL, some AWL and some plain melted!

Nonetheless with a dose of rockeyes and a handy landing spot should be able to neutralise 2 airfields no bother... 'ish...
