As in previous frames the main bombers came up the 3.5x area and I assume this will be the same tactic. We must prepare for this but also expect what they may try to do different.
LF6 on the east please have two layers of flight. Majority of you at max alt and 2 or 3 mid level looking for the NOE. RCAF and the 8th in the west please do the same two layers looking for the sneaky stalkers.
352nd will have high patrol down the center and will be able to flank to the east or west as needed and just the same, the other two groups can support the 352nd if called upon.
F167 - LF6 - head to 4.6.x area and watch for Allies from the West or South West. Patrol from the 4.58 southwest to 4.4x area. Should expect CV activities near here.
F183 - 352nd - patrol area south of 186 from 2.4 to 4.4 X's. (You may send a few further south to scout area's near Okinawa. Please do not engage until there is mutual support.)
F180 - RCAF & 8th - patrol area's from the 1.6x southeast to the 2.4X.
Type of aircraft is squad CO choice.
DAR is 60 miles, min is 300'.

There are two possible penalty planes for vulche and xucrut ... Unless jabo has confirmed otherwise, these two pilots must fly the ki-43. The S6 confirms of the field warp.
Good Luck everyone.
