Joint Task Force Heavy - 2019 in Review - and what to look forward to in 2020...

Gentlemen,

While we have had growing pains this year, 2019 has been extremely successful for Joint Task Force Heavy.

Our advancements have made our existence both easier to manage, and more attractive to new pilots who want a serious Virtual Squadron to have fun with and learn from.

Thanks to the hard work of JTFH Leadership and other extremely dedicated Officers, 2019 brought:

• 24/7 Servers in Caucasus (Iron Solace), NTTR (Desert Training), and the Persian Gulf (Sandy Pyre). (Thanks Kazyn for the outstanding missions, and Meatloaf & Ragtop for purchasing and maintaining our servers.)
• Several large scale operations in which all Squadrons participate at once.
• Addition of the 472nd Squadron of F-16C Fighting Falcons.
• A comprehensive training program that is growing, and will encompass training for all approved JTFH airframes, and for general knowledge such as ATC/Airport Operations classes. (Thanks Rakkis)
• One Squadron Ally, ECV56 Condor.
• A LotATC program to entice Air Traffic Controllers. (42 licences purchased!!!)
  
• New Squadron liveries (Thanks AngryCanadian, Mixxd, Breeze)
  
• Our kneeboards (Thanks Speedy)
  
• The official JTFH OPDOC. (Thanks AngryCanadian)
  
  We have a total of 72 active pilots, and 19 POW/MIA.

In 2020, we have some plans also:

• Grow the recruitment numbers for: 48th Attack and Rescue Squadron, VFC-119 (Tomcats), NATO Composite, and VMA-290. (Priority)
• Increase the number of Check-Flights completed by at least 50%.
• JTFH Campaign Deployment will commence!
• Continued Training on all subjects related to DCS.
• Implementation of PERSCOM. (Squadron Management Utility)
• Wider use of LotATC within JTFH Operations.
  
  And more...

I look forward to the New Year, and love flying with you guys. Let's keep raising the bar!

See you on the Flight-line!
