OPERATION: (Insert Name Here)

Strike and Patrol Ops.

West Patrol:

Knight Fighters Me110s F 79
AE Me110s F 78
LF6 Me110s F 38

Patrol West of 3 Vertical Line and as far south as fuel allows. Keep hostile fighters busy for the strike package. Cover Strikers when necessary. DT required until hostiles are visually verified.

East Patrol:

4th FG Me110s F40
Haze/Checkmates Me110s F43 (over flow steps next field east)

Patrol North of 8 Horizontal line. Feel free to go further south as fuel allows. Haze/ Checkmates, scout south east and call in the 4th as needed. Work close together on your patrol routes. DTs required until hostiles visually verified.

Looboy,

You are sending us 114 miles to hit 1 target. It's going to take us over 57 mins to get there.

As long as no one else is there, F110 is a medium field which carries 4 steps, Nightstalkers are only using one of those steps.

FWIW
PD from the Nomads has already flown the DO17's twice , which is all we were allocated. Will wait for Gums to chime in.
Salute

Loo.....2 things...
4th is a 4 step group and F 40 is only 1 step
also, that rnwy is awfully short for the heavy 110s

Can we use F9 ...about 25 miles NW of F40??

Nightstalkers rolled F40 last week with heavy stukas. It was a bitch to try and climb over the mountains because you start out down in the bottom of the bowl.

4FG cannot use F40. Besidws being a one step field, the runway is too short to land on and we'll lose at least half the squad trying to do that. Change of airfield please.

I believe 9 is a small field, 3 steps. F36 would work though.

LF6 also needs at least a small field, 3 steps. F9 would be sufficient for that.

<S>

oops my bad....thanks Briar....thought 9 was medium field.
F36 would work fine for us and you guys should plan on F9 unless we hear from looboy.

OTOH....F3 would give us the east area better than F36....
