Avenger11: "Floyd" AA=1 AG=0 RTB Avenger12: "Griffin" AA=1 AG=0 TECH Avenger13: "Veiland" AA=1 AG=0 EJT Avenger14: "Elmo" AA=2 AG=0 RTB
After steering around the tanker we took off and settled for 15 nm spacing between elements. There were a few groups on the ingress, but all flew north/north east towards the other groups' path. #2 could engage an SU-24 before dropping out due to technical reason.
We've continued west to our patrol area when a MiG-29 approached from the east. It must have escaped the engagement with Cowboy2, the group to our north, but got shot down by #1.
The second element rejoined and we continued west to engage a 2-ship of MiG-29S. #1's shot missed, but #3 and #4 scored a hit, with loosing #3 in that fight.

Mission Outcome: MS
Planned mission so that each Flight had a separate kill lane with defined boundaries. Avenger1 to our left, Falcon2 to our right.
Due to tanker blocking taxiway we backtracked down Runway 01, routine departure.
On ingress we got handed an Su-25 from Avenger1 but were unable to engage as it was 35nm miles away and cold heading back into Avenger1 lane so we informed Avenger1 and droppped the contact.
Picked up a 2 ship of Tu-16 passing left to right in front of the flight and passed the contacts to Falcon2 to engage, which they did successfully.
Approaching Sweep/CAP area we had multiple contacts, a mix of friendlies and bandits, mostly Su-30MKK. We formed a Grinder and had several engagements. Cowboy11 was engaged by an active missile and went defensive, missile defeated.
AWACS comms were saturated so hard lock and other sensors were used for IFF and the kill lanes worked well in separating the 185th Flights, apart from Falcon2 trespassing slighting into Cowboy2 lane. This was broadcast to Falcon2 and addressed.
As a 2 ship, after several Grinder engagements Cowboy2 were Winchester and low on fuel so RTB'd first, calling it on broadcast.
Egress was uneventful and due to a low fuel state Cowboy2 joined base for Runway 01, both aircraft successfully RTB'ing.
Issue with TGP being loaded on aircraft but not appearing in flight, must make sure this is checked right before commit and pilots do not jump out of seats after loaded.

Mission Outcome: PS
On the way in, the 1st element took out 2 Tu16s. 2nd element continued toward the CAP area and started engaging, trespassing a bit into Cowboy2 territory. We then rejoined, engaged an incoming 2ship Mig29Ss and exchanged missiles.
We lost #1 & #2 and took out one 29. The second element then had a few other engagements and the RTBed. |
