Thanks Matt all good from 41F.

With no CAP from 11F do we have an update on the RED Air?

We are sharing Kutaisi with 97 Sqn. We have a planned Taxi 04:09:00 and Take off time of 04:14:00. 97 Sqn please advise if these times clash with you.

Cheers
Andrew

Andrew,

REDAIR are linked to a 11(F) Takeoff, so if we don't get CAP we wont have REDAIR either

Matt,
There are numerous changes that have been made to the check miz, that need to be corrected. I don't know if changes occur from me to you, or visa versa. DCS again.

Rather than me do the corrections, and send you a revised miz, I have listed the alterations required below.

1. 97SQN Flt 1 callsign is now Enfield 1-1, and 1-2. It should be Hawg 1-1, and 1-2.
2. 97SQN Flt 2 callsign has changed to Springfield 2-1 and 2-2. It should be Hawg 2-1 and 2-2.
3. Tail numbers were 011 to 014. They have changed.
4. WP 1, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 15 should all be 0AGL, or equivalent AMSL for both flights. They have all changed, and should be reset back to zero.
5. For 97SQN Flt 2, both aircraft, weapon station 9 should be 3*Mav D's. They are now H's, and need to be swapped back to 3*Mav D's. That may have been finger trouble from me initially.

I hope all the above makes sense.

Callsigns are an easy fix, i forgot to check them once copied (my bad)

WP's I'll zero everything (i had only zero'd tgt's after the copy)

Weapons not sure whats happened there but i will correct them for you

Tail numbers not a real issue, i will change them back after work

Matt,
I've just flown your check miz. There were no SA19's, or ZSUs at our target airfield.

I guess you meant that to happen on your check miz.

3(F) AAR:

We had a good turnout of six highly trained and motivated pilots to join in this mission.
Takeoff and ingress went smoothly with no red air to be seen.
Our Strike package hit our target of 4x Fencers who must've had invincibility switched on and decided they didn't want to visit the bone-yard.
After this we decided to fly over to Sochi and visit the rest of RAFAIR. To our surprise we spotted red air in the distance and adjusted our course to intercept but by the time we got anywhere close 11(F) took them out. We then hit bingo and decided to head on back to vaziani for tea and medals.
All pilots made it back safe and sound.

We had a great time practising formation flying.

Hi Beanie,

No immortality turned on, so maybe the Russians have stronger armour then recent news lets us believe :lol: no idea how they withstood that at all!
