I am assuming 6 single bombs, with a spacing of 100-120 ft. Thus will just about cover 8 ac in adjacent parking spots. Where the ac are inside hardened revetments, as some are at the planned targets, you need to reduce the spacing, basically so that you do not bracket the bunker.
I have flown 3 trials to date against ac in the open and have, at least, damaged every one of the eight on all 3 occasions, with a single pass.
Full brief should be available by Monday evening.
Paul if you are available, I would like to fly a two-ship with you, against one of the targets, so that you can lead a 4-ship on Tuesday.

Sorry about the delay, but I got side-tracked.
A comprehensive brief is attached. I could not produce a decent map but will publish routes later this afternoon.
See you all tonight.

Re: Training 17/19 Mar 2020
OK, chaps, I have had a quick run through the Tacview, and was quite pleased with the en-route formation. A bit of a tendency to fly in too swept a position, but overall quite compact and neat. We all touched down within a period of 1 minute which is just as it should be. My leading was bit up and down on the speed, but that did not seem to throw anybody.
I will take another look at the mission to find out why our DTOT didn't work as advertised.
Thanks, I enjoyed the evening.
