T+5 four checkmates took off from F221 and headed towards F25, tasked with giving cover to the Knights. We reached the target area about ten minutes before the Knights got there and loitered with the Haze. The Knights arrived and leveled the target without incident. We then RTB'd and prepared for the next sortie. At T+85 three Checkmates (we had one pilot stand down due to continued connection problems) took off from F221 and headed towards F200 where we had reports of cons in that area. We arrived as the 352nd had just finished dispatching the cons. They RTB'd and we stayed and loitered. At T+110, we spotted strikers low and heading west so we began pursuit, downing five of them. We had one pilot RTB, had one who had to bail in friendly territory (got fueled) and one (me) get discoed right after the fight. Excellent plan put together Sakai and salute to all for all the successes of the frame.
