So far we have concentrated solely on deploying the Mk82’s and Mav’s. Whilst still important to practice, I feel as though we should start mixing things up a little. Below is a list of items we need to practice, and we’ll be including these in future training sorties. We’ll still concentrate on the Mk82’s and the Mavericks, but we’ll also look at some other weapons. One good thing about the F16 is that there are many weapons that are deployed in the same manner. The Mk82, Mk84 and the BLU-107 Durundal are examples of this.

The training schedule, which is in no particular order, will look something like this.

Offensive Counter Air (OCA) Strike

Anti Shipping Strikes

SEAD Strikes

Laser Guided Bomb’s

Cluster Bombs

SAM Evasion Techniques

Air-Air Engagements


I’ll make a TE that will encompass everything except the Air-Air engagements. This will allow us to have a very flexible training platform with which to conduct our flights. This may seem like a lot, but once you have the Mavs and Iron bombs, the rest should fall into place fairly quickly.

That sounds good, Jex. I am ready to go up again already. I am pretty much free any time after about 6pm central on weekdays and all day Sat. and Sun. Lets set up another training flight ASAP.

I'd like to pick a time that will allow as many people as possible to play. Would doing this, like last time, on Saturday @ 2pm EST be good? Or do we need to try something different?

As I said, I am pretty flexible so go ahead and toss out suggestions if Sat isn't good for you.

I'd love to go up again too! 2pm edt works for me but mornings are better.

This saturday at 2pm I have the +SD Ghost Recon Tourney to play. That will go on until 16:00 EST after which I should be available. Let's say 16:30 to be on the safe side - is this good for you guys or would sunday be better?

I'd like to be in on this too. Anytime this weekend *should* be okay. Subject to the old lady's approval, of course.

I can do 16:30 on Saturday but, I can also play Sunday if that is better for everyone. I would suggest that we just bump it to 16:30 on Saturday unless we hear from others that this won't work and if that is the case we can bump it to Sunday. Leejo has already said that mornings are better for him so it might be better to go Sunday moring.

OK I've made the all encompassing TE. We have the choice of the following

Naval Strike (mixed ordnance)
Airfield Strike (BLU-107 Durundal)
CAS Strike (Close Air Support - Mavs, Cluster Bombs)
Strike (Radar Site - Mk 82/84)
Bridge Strike (GBU's - laser guided bombs)
SEAD strike (AGM88 HARM)
SAM Evasion
Air Refuelling

This gives us an excellent platform to train with. I can do Sunday morning or Saturday morning. 7 slots available
