… doesn’t sound as good as fight club, does it?
Anyway, as promised here, let’s do the Northern Scandinavia on Caucasus scenario before it becomes obsolete and we get the actual Kola map:
Crazy idea, since we’d only really need about 4 half-decent pilots for this, less if one is the venerable @Derbysieger in AH-64:
How about 2022-09-10T18:00:00Z→2022-09-10T21:00:00Z?
If there is enough interest and little attendance, I can pick a date in the slightly more distant future.
September 3rd 2022 mhhhhhh…
Well if you tell me how to do time travel perhaps. Maybe we can ask Blackadder and Baldrick for their time machine? 
Oops, corrected!
I’d love to be in. What do you need me to fly? Red air? 
What do we do for comms? Do you have enough time for setting up and the herding of the cats or do you need another week and we do fight club tomorrow? Is all good, love to fly a real scenario with you guys man
I’m game! (but the F-16 is the only thing I can ‘barely’ fly this weekend - although if I remember correctly, there is a slot or two?)
Woohoo, I’m in. Probably best in Huey or Hornet.
I cant fly anything decently … but learning fast 
Thanks for the enthusiastic responses, happy so many of you can make it on short notice! @Maico We will do an earlier time for the next session!
If you could have a read of the mission briefing PDF beforehand that would be great. Purely optional though.
You can download it here:
There is one main mission objective around a city where helicopters and strikers work together and many other things to do around the map. From AAR and Deep Strike (needs escort) to DEAD, ELINT and bomber interception.
I will add some Mirage F1 slots and send out a little skin pack, so you can see the Swedish UH-1 and British GR.7 etc. if you download it - again 100% optional. DM me a skin if you want it included.
There are at least two player slots of every Blue side aircraft mentioned in the briefing so if many want to fly Viggen I might have to add some slots. Also very few Red slots, which can be filled to increase the difficulty if necessary.
So far we have:
@schurem probably Viggen, F-16, Flanker or MiG?
@chipwich UH-1, F/A-18
@Derbysieger cold Apache
@taubkin F-16
@Victork2 will probably want Harrier GR.7, Viggen or a Czech or Polish Hind?
@NEVO any preference?
As for comms, I don’t have SRS hosting setup and tested so let’s do Discord for briefing and main mission freqs. It’s been a while since I used it but SRS was always good fun so if people want and have a server available, I could join an SRS for a flight specific freq.
Can fly all helos (well I call it flying) and have a grasp on most other stuff 
Viggen for me or hind
Btw I was thinking if we start an hour earlier with those who are already available then, perhaps @Maico can join us for a bit?
All helos are available as hot start in a forest clearing near the front line. And of course a pair of cold start Dutch AH-64s
I sent a message on Discord too but didn’t hear from him so let’s start at the time in the OP
I had a whale of a time, thank you. I love flying red air, playing the bad guy for you to shoot at. What a difference that AWACS and link16 made eh @Derbysieger
Those stinger squads took a little of the fun out of flying the red hind, but that’s ok, I bet the reds have more helicopters than the squad has missiles 
The scripting is lovely, with the column and the pilot rescues and all of those little surprises you built in. Brilliant fun!
If we do run this thing with a gaggle, it may be good to double up on the slots @Freak . So two of everything, allowing everybody to run in a pair if they want.
I would love a '81 version of this as well, without GPS, without HTS, without AMRAAM… Red air suddenly becomes a lot more menacing 
and please some weapons for the hinds 
Did I tell you about the time that I was heads-down in the Hornet trying to select center station jettison and had my wings removed by the Dutch Russian Eddie Vedder?
Beautiful scenario @Freak and good times. Looking forward to the next one.
Sorry I had some issues after getting wtfpwned by a German in viper for three times in a row SA is everything in air combat, and just after take-off that is often not the greatest. Killing the AWACS made schwacking the other guys pretty easy all of a sudden, fun times!
It’s amazing how quickly the scenario around Maykop airfield got cleaned up by you guys. Those choppers can really clean up when flown well (and opposed badly)!
I know that was a bit cheap from me, I couldn’t resist
You got your revenge though. That jammer truly fckd with my radar and I did not have tally on you xD
No sir, not at all. The technological disparity was part of the scenario. You did as you were supposed to. It was fun getting back at you tho
