  • UH-60L Kimpo (remember the range problem?)

4. Create DPRK BARCAP package with five flights of two MiG-21s. Lock take-off times at thirty minute increments beginning at 0330.

Add MiG21 BARCAP

5. Create JFAC Deep Strike package. Set Time On Target (TOT) to one or two minutes before the T-55 Armor Battalion arrives at the bridge.

6. Create JFAC C3I package. Set TOT to 0415 for both flights.

7. Create JFAC FAC/CAS package. Set TOT to a few minutes before 0430 for both the FAC and On-Call CAS.

8. Create DPRK CAS package. Set Take-off for the MiG-25s to the same time as JFAC FAC/CAS TOT. Set the Hinds and Havocs TOT to 0100.

9. Create Air Mobile package. Set TOT to 0430 for the entire package.

We will not create the DPRK Intercept package until we have finished adjusting steerpoint and times for the JFAC Air Mobile package. We must have finalized the UH-60Ls flight path before we can target the flight by an intercept.

When you have finished all of the packages then save the mission once. Call it "404th To The Rescue(v1)" or something. Do not overwrite this until you are absolutely sure the mission is just the way you want it and you swear you are never going to look at it again. I still have the rough versions of dozens of missions. It makes it very easy to make wholesale changes that can virtually redesign a mission when you have the raw mission setup and saved. This is where we stop this week. Next week we adjust and tweak!

Happy Flying and watch your six,
