Thanks for this mission gents and special thanks to D3mon for posting and hosting this flight. Hopefully we will fly some more these kind of missions in OF.

Noodles, as an F-16 pilot in a war environment you cannot sleep through the Alarm. Lol, buddy. I imagine you in a warm bed and dreamland and us on a mission.

From our internal mission debrief:
1. Synchronization between the escort and the strike was not the bext since
there were 2 2ships of 21 above the airbase which caused the strikers to
abort their runway pass and engage.
2. The pair which made the pop-up were followed to 1 mig 21 along their
pass and were lucky they weren't shot down.
3. The ADA was not destroyed totally but it was not a threat to the strikers.
4. 1 A/C from the strikers was shot down by friendly fire (Lobo 1-4) which
doesn't fit an A/I flight normal behaviour (it is possible that all the in/out
process of human pilots
caused this).
5. looking at the TAC-VIEW films shows that there were few Mad-Dogs
missile launches by friendlies which passed fairly close to us (one slammer
even passed between Fury 1 and Fury 2)......
6. Some internal remarks regarding our own internal flight procedures.
7. The more we do joint OPS we'll get better.
Overall - it was a fun mission, the 108VFS is looking forward to fly some more joint OPS.

Cheers !!

Thanks Elf. This internal mission brief is loud and clear. Maybe next time we should debrief a little more right after the mission of what we all did and didn't. You said it allready after the mission and that's good suggestion and a important part of the SOP's.

See you all soon and yes, hopefully again with the pilots from the 108th.
