Recruitment/Squad Operations off to a running start for 2019!

With the start of the new year, we are doing great things right off:

From our (outstanding) recruiting numbers, to the amount of upcoming missions and training flights, we will be busy this year. (We gained 9 pilots since January 1st to bolster the ranks to (36 active pilots), (9 reserve pilots).

A big thanks go to the following JTF Heavy members who have really stepped it up and added their knowledge and expertise to better our organization as a whole:

Together, we are developing a great community of dedicated combat flight simmers, who are learning, teaching, and making the DCS experience outstanding for all of us.

IN OTHER NEWS:

Operation Westwind was successful, but intelligence suggests that JTF Heavy will be facing reinforcements from Northern Iran and China in response to our airstrike on the 13th of January. Satellite photos show that we wiped out approximately 65% of the intended targets, but left key installations that made it somewhat easier for the Iranians to resupply and this time, with more air cover. This was counterbalanced by the fact that we had very few losses or mechanical problems in any Squadron.

Operation Westwind continues on January 27th, as we have received a much needed resupply and planning break. Please prepare, understand the systems of your aircraft to their fullest - you will need to employ your training. Keep in mind that we do not have an option for CSAR, the AO is much too dangerous for rotary aircraft. Make smart decisions and be ready to fly crippled aircraft back to Tunb or Khasab Airbases.

See you on the flight line,
