Flight Role Sweep

Eagle11: Floyd AA=3 AG=0 RTB
Eagle12: Griffin AA=1 AG=0 EJT
Eagle13: Veiland AA=2 AG=0 EJT
Eagle14: Zipgun AA=1 AG=0 RTB

Mission MS

Due to short range of missiles (AiM-7, Aim-9) it happened that the
flight was drawn out of the "safe" area over friendly SAM sites.
And more and more incoming bandits made it difficult to regroup.
Dragging a bandit group required the second element to be in short
trail formation, but this was difficult because of data link problems.
The IR missiles need special handling, one friendly was killed by
an AiM-9 running wild.

Flight Role Sweep

Lion11: Sabre AA=1 AG=0 RTB
Lion12: Mango AA=0 AG=0 EJT
Lion13: Sharpe AA=1 AG=0 RTB
Lion14: Ironman AA=1 AG=0 RTB

MS

Tried hard not to get sucked out of safe area, but hard work. Needs a whole new approach with these short range missiles. Lost Mango on the merge because I for one didn't support my AIM-7 all the way to the target.

Learning points.
AIM-7 must be supported and guided to the target
AIM-9P is rear aspect only.

It's not BVR anymore.
