I can join Danny in an F-16 unless Jack is in attendance if it makes things easier Chris.

Your choice Neil, you are working loosely together and there is a spare 16 & 18 either way. Being an emergency thrown together task force I hoping the 16 / 18 will complement each other as a team but not in the slightest essential....
Kind Regards

Great mission, thanks for organising.
Apologies to Hendo for bailing on him just after read back. Just got a little too late, I hope another A10 jumped in.

Major Issues
Some idiot did not remove the FART activation units required for POL at Kentucky - he has been sacked!
The same idiot was too busy playing conductor and forgot mostly about the helos and apart from 1 tasking they were left to their own devices - very sorry for that lads..... he been sacked twice.

A hectic evening, stress levels seemed very high and some appeared overloaded.... Perhaps a bridge too far maybe

ATC, COMMAND and tasking units meant I was overloaded many times but no issues, perhaps the ATC when not ignored was worthwhile, I've no no idea - and I kept it very simple rather than as per standard procedures..

That said, the objectives of the Commander were met again despite the confusion

War is confusion, elation, depression and death is always present.... we are armchair warriors.... and from my viewpoint I can only but admire the expertise shown in dealing with it.... All units were good I thought.... but for me a special praise for Hendo and 11 SQN on CAP who were totally stand out superb IMHO....

If the screw ups, put downs and pressure to you were found to be too much shout out and if the series is wanted to continue I will simplify things... sometime my enthusiasm and trying new 'stuff' I know falls flat, if that fits here, I apologise....

If you wish to post a debrief point fire away but no platitudes, be honest especially on enjoyment / stress etc
Kind Regards
Chris :)
