Enemy armour is collecting on the eastern coast and command want the 185th to be part of the attritional forces to deplete them before they push south.
Package 1982
Cajun 7 - 3 x F-16C-50 - AI western zone, Tcn 11/74
Spade 8 - 3 x F-16C-50 - AI eastern zone, Tcn 12/75
Cobra 1 - 3 x F-16C-50 - Escort, Tcn 13/76
In the western zone are the 4th and 5th tank battalions with 12 and 9 tanks each. This will be Cajun's target.
In the eastern zone are the 1st, 2nd and 3rd tank battalions with 18, 10 and 12 tanks respectively. This will be Spade's target area. Command are keen that the southernmost battalion, the 1st, is made a priority by Spade.
Mission success will be awarded for an average of five vehicles destroyed per aircraft and no losses. A partial success will be awarded for three vehicles per aircraft with a maximum of one AI aircraft lost to either air or ground threats.
Good Hunting.

MS
Fairly straight-forward flight, we went with a mixed load of GBU54s for movers and ~CBU87s for statics. Flight formed up quickly on ingress then went head down with 3 columns sorted. #2 had trouble finding targets amongst buildings so switched to #1's column, attacking the opposite end. #3 dropped 1 GBU then borked his bombs with a pretty erratic negative G manoeuvre that ended his attack prematurely. He also reported bingo quite soon so was ordered to drop stores and RTB. #1 and #2 continued their attacks before calling Miller Time and RTB ahead of Cobra1. Uneventful egress for an overhead recovery that started to go wrong following #1 overshooting the runway heading, causing the rest of the approach to get steadily worse. A mix-up in comms between #1 #2 caused a VERY near miss, but #2 a collision was just avoided and #2 recovered well to land behind #1.
Good comms but some practise required on the race-track attack pattern as well as some further instruction in fuel management and HOTAS finesse for #3. Average vehicles destroyed was achieved for a MS.
The 4 things a wingman is allowed to say:
1.Two
2.Lead, you're on fire.
3.I'm bingo fuel.
4.I'll take the fat one.... :/
