Flight Role: Tasmo
Mako 51: "Griffin" AA=0 AG=6 RTB
Mako 52: "Fisty" AA=0 AG=0 RTB
MS
For this mission we loaded number 1 with 4 x LGB 24s and number 2 with 4 x AGM-65Gs. We ditched the jammers as there were no active radar SAM's in the area.
We executed a slow climb to FL260.
The target area was called clear so No2 went in first while I ran BDA. Using the TGP I watched all four of his Maverics hit home (despite the debrief saying he missed two). However the ships both stayed afloat. We swapped roles and I took two passes, successfully dropping a bomb on each ship. They eventually sank.
By this time we were low on fuel and turned for home calling "Miller Time". I dropped my remaining LGBs on a cluster of buildings at Suwon AB, destroying four buildings and damaging quite a few more.
We RTB'd with an overhead break. We came close to a mid-air collision but our SA was good and No2 climbed an went around while I dropped lower and landed.
A good, simple mission with good co-ordination and comms. We all knew what each flight was doing and cover from the escort was good.
We need to take out Suwon next though as MiG-21s were being launched from there (even though the OOB said they had no aircraft left!)

Flight Role: Escort/SEAD
HAMMER71: "Noodle" AA=1 AG=1 RTB
HAMMER72: "Mango" AA=0 AG=0 RTB
HAMMER73: "Gekko" AA=0 AG=0 RTB
MS
#2 had tech with NWS on the ground, had to exit and rejoin when airborne.
#3 had CTD because of visor bug, also managed to rejoin once airborne.
We carried mixed loadout of 5 slammers and 1 HARM.
Picture clear in general, only air threat was a singleton Mig-23 (coming from Seoul AB) over the target area. Dispatched by #1.
Mig-21s took off from Suwon but were downed by friendly flight.
SA-15 on both Suwon and Seoul area.
#1 HARM hit, HAS shot on SA-15 while #3 was keeping it busy. Missile tracked but last second flexed onto one of the frigate, still a hit.
#2 HARM missed = HAS shot but no "RDY"
#3 HARM missed = HTS shot, not PGM1
Picture clear all the way back but we can confirm that Seoul and Suwon are still active AB and need to be monitored.
OHB 31L as MAKO52 was going around.
Similar to MAKO5, HAMMER71 and 72 came pretty close on the downwind. #2 extended for spacing but came a bit too close on landing.
Going around would've been a good idea.
