Based on the good turn out that we had in Aug, I thought that it was time for another. Although I had suggested the second Saturday, I have a work conflict this weekend (beer festival) that I can’t get out of. So, proposing that we meet 16 Sep.

Situation
An informant brought forth information that ISIS leadership is combining their forces from eastern Syria at the abandoned Jirah airfield. They plan to conduct a new offensive against rebel held Aleppo. Significant personnel and equipment have been stationed at Jirah while the leaders are planning the offensive.
CENTCOM has authorized a strike against the forces stationed there to destroy and disperse the forces. Turkey is supporting the operation with AWACS against potential Syrian air response. Syria may potentially respond to the incursion of their airspace from a non-standard avenue that is being used to reduce tip-off to ISIS.
Blue Task
Mission:
Pontiac and Chevy flight will conduct an early morning strike on the ISIS forces at Jirah airfield. The exact number of forces are unclear, but can expect
The island has minimal defensive units, primarily 57mm ADA at the airport, however possible 100mm ADA has been observed defending the harbor. So must maintain attack altitude above 15k ASL. Secondary target of oppourtunity is an Iranian cargo ship making it’s way towards the harbor from the West. Estimated arrival time is 02:30L.
Plan:
Depart Incirlik AFB via RWY 05. Transit to WP1 at Gaziantep and check-in with Overload for air picture and enemy SAM status. After WP1 turn towards WP2 and decend to low-level flight to avoid enemy radar detection.
IP is located 10 miles from the target area at WP2.01. At the IP climb to FL 100 to identify targets. Make one attack pass, egressing to the west from the target area.
Post-strike egress to the NW at low-level towards the Turkish border. Once across the border climb to FL 250 for the transit home. Plan for recovery on RWY 05.
