Morning flight,
tomorrow the weather which has kept us grounded since our last sortie is cleared to lift. Everyone needs to be ready for startup 18.30 Zulu which is 07.30 mission time(scenario)
We have no GS since the Delta Darlings broke them. Replacements are loaded on freighters and are due within the week
We have 2 Gazelles still attached and 6 slicks
Hope you can make it, it should be a quiet days flying

In. And now I have unlocked the magic of Gazelle flight (Bushmills, apparently) I'm happy to fly either the Gazelle or a slick.

Don't blame the whole company you Macam, you only had Fizzy flying with you!

Ill be on. The general is out for dinner so!

No GS?  The template, which incidentally took me 6 months to do for you, that I sent as a present for 'B', had loads of GS's & Ka-50's & Gazelles.  

I think this is personal vendetta against me by Cib & Frog, especially Frog - as since I refused to go below decks with him in his Navy he has been rather odd, poor fellow -  though a little bird told me you both belong to the same secret society?

Any way I'm in.... if only to show that I do not hold spite...

Ground crew inform me a D Co gunship is going to be ready for an airtest in a few hours. Unfortunately guns, rocket pods and ammunition will not be arriving until we are scheduled to lift.
I will bring any new developments to you as and when they happen

Any thing will do just fine, Sir.

Notification
Limited ammo will be available to GS and Gazelle after the C130 lands. Fuel is also limited to 50 tonnes of Kerosene
All slicks have door gunners with plenty 7.62 ball

Forcast for light northerly breeze highs of 24 degrees and light cloud down to 1500 feet perfect day for sightseeing

Due to not getting the mission uploaded in good time we will be rearranging this mission for a later date

Any info on the possible date? Just noticed this thread, so I almost missed the event.

I will be kind of busy up until the 132nd mission sunday night. I will post after that but hopefully next thursday or friday

Better have your chiefs set with your birds.
We caught some of D taking fuel caps off a few of our slicks.

Cib won't give us any ammo so we're going to have our co pilots throw the furl caps at the enemy. We didn't think A coy would mind if we borrowed them.

lol

Any time appointed for this soon? What to expect (as of tasks to fly)?

Hey Blade, hope to rerun this mission later on this week. The requirements are start up from cold, ability to take off and land, basic navigation IE reading the compass. In other words nothing advanced. We can do some formation flying, landing, embarking troops, disembarking troops, drinking tea
Oh you will need a sense of humor as the D company pilots are little pranksters, don't let them send you for a long stand or tartan paint.
also be prepared for any eventuality

OK, thanks I just didn't find any detail about "this mission"...

No details as it is just a familiarization flight around our area of operations, perhaps it will be a quiet flight or perhaps there may be incidents along the way.

As I said be prepared for any eventuality

We shall run this Friday evening. 19.30 bst I have a new psu arriving tomorrow as the current one is fubar. I will hopefully get an updated version to dabomb tomorrow evening or at least by Thursday. If I can't fix it you can just do it with out me and use the version on the ts browser

In which case I'll be around to join you guys. Someone better find me some ammo!
