This is what we need to drop after a runway strike... unfortunately it's not modeled in F4

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CBU-89_Gator

Can set timer for 15 days on the mines to deny access to an area!!!

We struck Ivangrad Airbase, a primary Serbian base for Mig-29SM front line fighter aircraft. The airbase had been hit several times before but engineering units were able to repair the runways and bring it back on line within a couple hours of each strike. Because the airbase presented a major threat to Allied air operations, the decision was made to remove as much enemy presence as possible.

Fighters from the 78th Squadron based at Brindisi staged a bold early evening strike and decimated the engineering units stationed there. 98% of the units were disabled or destroyed and subsequently surrendered to the allies. The 78th also staged another early evening raid on Sjenica airbase, a main front line base for the Mig-21Mbis front line fighters. Again they were able to shut the runway and remove the majority of the engineering and air defense units supporting the base.

U2 recon flights have detected major ground movements around Lepa Glava airbase. Serbian ground forces are moving towards this airbase in effort to protect this asset.

Albania has fully committed itself to the war effort at this time and are massing on the Northern border. They have started to move slowly towards the North taking bridges and towns that were sympathetic to the FRY forces. The Allies continue to control the Southern region of Montenegro and mass forces of the Western border of Serbia.

Looking forward hopefully to being back in the Air Sat

I'm going to miss this Sat.
Damn, I hate it when I miss two Saturday's in a row.
Try not to finish the campaign without me.

DawgMan Out!

Same here, guys. I think a lot of us have had RL matters that took us away lately. But I think a "groove" is set for some Falcon flying on line Saturdays, no matter what. Most of us who miss from time to time have no intention of dropping out - just can't make it every single Saturday.

This campaign is going to be running for quite awhile so don't bum out if you can't make it. The flights are getting longer now and just that alone will slow the progress down. We ran three missions last Saturday but I can see already it's not possible to do that from here on out. We're starting to get into 35-40 minute's one way per sortie.

I am happy to report I will not be missing 2 weeks in a row. REALLY looking forward to this weeks session!

I am happy to report,, the fun with this good old sim just keeps on giving.
Thanks to my new box, Striker, & all the helpful Saturday Campaign pro pilots.

The only way to learn how to fly F4:AF is with real sim nuts, online with TS voice comms.
Thanks for the fun.

Two deep strikes were scheduled to take out the SAM's located at Lepa Glava Airbase. The first flight was only able to succeed partially and a second flight was needed to finish the job. The SAM threats have been eliminated and a portion of the AAA have been removed as well. We lost a couple air frames during the operations but the escort flights were able to down several Mig's, keeping the air threats off of the strike group. The first strike group was also able to put the runway out of action for the time being.

Lepa Glava Airbase is still partially open and it's 5 squadrons of Mig-21's can still pose a threat to our air operations. The runway has been partially destroyed but the engineering squadrons are busy repairing the damage. We expect the base to be back up to operational status in a couple hours. It will be necessary to run several follow up strikes to eliminate the engineering battalions and remaining air defense units stationed there.

At least 8 FRY mechanized battalions are located West and Southwest of the Airbase. Also, there are several squadrons of J-22 and G-4's located at Kraljevo Airbase to the East. These units only pose a threat to our ground forces but there are also two AN-24 squadrons stationed there. These units are the primary resupply for the entire Serbian region. Command has flagged this airbase as a major target because of their resupply ability!

Gentlemen,
I forgot to mention last Saturday that I will be out of town this coming Halloween weekend. I will try to get the briefings up from the last two weekends before I travel. We will pick the campaign back up on the following Saturday, November 8th. Thanks for all your participation, support and hard work!
Striker
