Plan Tank plinking using GBU-12 over target. One element on CAP while other element engaged ground targets then swap. Formation box, 5nm trail for ingress/egress.
Execution Slightly messy departure with elements getting on top of each other. Better briefing of departure procedure required on Flights. Otherwise ingress uneventful.
#1 and #2 went on CAP while #3 and #4 engaged ground targets. #3 had a technical issues when he lost HOTAS functionality after using TGP. Flew rest of flight but was unable to engage targets.
#3 took 5 passes and dropped 4x GBU-12, all shack on groups of enemy vehicles for a total of 12 destroyed.
#3 and #4 then went CAP while #1 and #2 engaged. Each dropped 4x GBU-12 for a total of 16 and 15 ground targets destroyed respectively.
Only threat during this time was #3 being engaged by limited AAA.
Uneventful RTB and an overhead break and landing on 16R.
