Strike at Cairo
Package #16597
Tempest 1 - 4x F-16CM Blk 52 - Strike Egyptian Joint Staff HQ
Charger 2 - 4x F-16I Blk 52+ CFT - Strike Egyptian Air Force HQ and EAI Aircraft Parts Complex
Boxer 3 - 4x F-16CM Blk 52 - SEAD
Hammer 4 - 4x F-16AM - Escort
Mission: With the enemy combat aircraft diminished for now, we will take the opportunity to strike at the Egyptian command & control centers in Cairo. A package of 12 aircraft will depart Akrotiri at ~1500L. Boxer 3 and Hammer 4 flights will lead the package, Tempest 1 and Charger 2 should wait feet wet for the all clear call from the SEAD and Escort flights, and push south to destroy the assigned targets.
Threats: The nearest active combat aircraft base to the target is Cairo West, but with only 2 Rafales left, it's unlikely that these will be launched; other possible threats are Jinkalis New (to the west) and Faid (to the east) with F-16s and Al Mansurha (to the north) with MIG-21s. Only a HAWK SAM covers the target area. An SA-6 is located to the northwest of the target area, and while it is not threatening the flight path at this time, it should be dealt with as it is on the move. Possible other pop-ups.
Support: Chalis 2 - E-3 - AWACS | Diamond 1 - KC-135 - Air Refuel | Canteen 1 - KDC-10 - Air Refuel | Sentry 1 - E8C - ELINT

PS.: Because of low turnouts we'll be experimenting with having this flight on Thursday. Also make sure your ITO installation is up-to-date.

Donnerstag hab ich persönlich leider fast nie Zeit. Mittwochs ist bei uns in der Staffel schon Training. Ich denke, es wird leider immer schwer werden unter der Woche solche großen Flüge zu tasken.
