S3 Series

I will CO the frame if that meets with everyone's approval.

F22 and F37 need to be closed from the start so that is Mission #1.

A minimum of two B25D bombers out of F24 are needed to close F22. See IP22.DTF for the flight plans, Yellow and Blue. BUFF pilots please submit your handle for this attack and indicate which route you want to fly. Please practice the attack. No opposition is expected due to distances to RED bases but they have carriers. BUFFs RTB F24.


F22 Load out: 6 500lb bombs, 100% fuel (rules), Takeoff at T-0, Boost 2 for 1 min, Boost 1 to target, Climb speed 180 IAS and level out at Angels 3 to avoid cloud cover.

A minimum of five B25D bombers out of F38 are needed to close F37. See IP37.DTF for the flight plans. BUFF pilots please submit your handle for this attack (willing to run the gauntlet) and indicate which route you want to fly. Supernumeraries are welcome to ensure F37 is closed fast. Please practice the attack. All must be on the runway at T-0 and airborne by T-0.2. Don't hit the trees, they will kill you. BUFFs RTB F38.


IP37.DTF F37 Load out: 8 250lb bombs, 100% fuel (rules), Takeoff at T-0, Boost 2 for 2 min, Boost 1 to target, Climb speed 170 IAS.

All fighters except VMF 214 swarm F37 to suppress enemy fighters. Keep it fast and let them chase you north if they pursue. This may be a blood bath in the weeds but F37 must be closed fast.

After F22 and F37 is closed Fighters RTB as needed and climb towards 24 or as directed by Frame CO

Mission #1 F22 Bombing Plan.

Mission #1 F37 Bombing Plan.

Mission #2,

Close F20, F26 , and F27 in that order. One B25D launch from F24. You must practice this mission as the coast watcher target is hard to see.
Load out: 100% fuel, 500lb bombs.

Close F44 and F49. One B25D launch from F24. You must practice this mission as the coast watcher target is hard to see.
Load out: 100% fuel, 500lb bombs.

BUFF leaders plan your raid on the remaining RED fields or seek the RED CVs. Please post a route DTF file indicating time hacks and rondevu points for the fighters.

Fighters; Protect forward air fields F14, F16, and F24. Re-arm as necessary and support the BUFFs

I expect the REDs to attack F5 but there is not much we can do about it.

Thanks for the plan oshix. Sorry you couldn't make it. Hope everything is OK.

Hello Ohshix,
Thank you for your great summary of the event. The pictures and information really helped myself and all others. GREAT WORK. Thank for spending the time to put it all together and send it. The format was great also making it a snap to print and layout while in the mission.
Thanks again,

I have not heard from anyone stepping up to fly the B25 missions

Excellent frame planning job ohshix <S>

We took everything down.
Only glitch was we blew up all targets at F20 (should be only one) but it never showed closed in the buffer.
Asked Kaceyj (JABO) about it and he said there may be a ship or something. But nothing. Never got logged as closed, but it should have.
Not sure how they will handle that.

Overall I think we dominated.

Job well done by all.

<S>s

No ships that I am aware of unless added by the Janitors.

Off line do a .destroyall 37 command and all the associated objects will be listed in the buffer. I did not find any ship objects listed.

I checked fields in the tower and it said F20 was closed.
FWIW
