No problem.
It's gone a little ad- hoc on this one.

Well it was nice to fly a mission where everything worked. I believe 892 had an enjoyable mission with only one casualty to report.

Andrew,
Apologies, if I let the side down tonight. Most of my USBs failed to work correctly. Managed to taxi and T/O, using the keyboard to keep on the centreline. Pickled a single 2000lb GBU, and destroyed just one cargo ship.
I could see two cargo ships approaching from the NE. More failures followed, so decided to leave the server, whilst I was ahead.

The 3 of us in 11 Sqdn had an enjoyable flight,
Uzi 1 & 2 got into action fairly quickly and the enemy started going down, Uzi 3 off to the west was a little quiet until Uzi 1 & 2 were close to winchester with their AIM 54's and was called in to support.
Uzi 1 7 kills
Uzi 2 2 kills
Uzi 3 2 kills with some help from 3 Sqdn, Thanks chaps.
Uzi 1 rtb'd to the Teddy, Uzi 2 & 3 rtb'd to Al Minhad
Not a single problem from any of us ref a/c / DCS which was a first for along time.

Hi Geoff,
We heard you on ts, sort of. You sounded like something between Darth Vader and someone snoring. We then assumed you'd had all sort of bother.
At least you saw the ships!
Alien, yes it seemed to run well (apart from poor old Geoff). I'm glad you managed to all get some sport.
It's funny I thought tonight might go a bit pear shaped because we were using an old mission and hadn't done too much recent planning, but it seemed to turn out to be a better one.

Anytime Alien. One of my Amraams went stray and headed towards you. Sorry! It was a challenging furball where we were surrounded by Tomcats, not all necessarily bandits!

No worries mate, I knew you guys were about albeit I didn't actually see any of you, we were also checking with each other whether or not the 14 we were about to launch on was friend of foe.
It was only after viewing Tacview that I realised just how close we all were, between us we achieved air superiority so mission accomplished. good effort.
