@EinsteinEP, @WreckingCrew, had a blast last evening, even if I wasn’t that effective in the A-10A! Count me in today at some point, as well.

So much of the base was destroyed, we’ll prolly never know who the Pilot was, or why the bomb released. An unfortunate accident, or… ? Perhaps General Vaz … no.
With helo missions, there’s an airshow at every FARP/airbase.
With some impressive dynamic displays.
Me and a Ka-50 in an exciting standoff over some Garlic Parmesean.
“Gear…Gear. GEAR! YOUR GEAR IS UP!!!”
I try my hand at heavy lifting in the Mi-8.
It does not end well.
The Black Sharks begin their dance of mourning around my carcass.
Multi-seat works in the Gazelle-L! …sort-of. A lot of the systems aren’t sync’d, such as the engine and rotors. Plus I can’t see the pilot.
It’s very creepy flying around in a helicopter with the rotor blades not spinning.
Camera works great though!
@Toppometer and I were able to do a little damage…
…before we went for a little swim.
Operation Bactria went off to a great start - we lost just about all Hawg flight but Pig flight seems to be doing well.
@near_blind and I enroute to the IP.
I think this is @boomerang10 providing some top cover while Pedro moves in.
Also @boomerang10.
@near_blind after taking a face full of Zeus.
After ejection, @near_blind’s aircraft takes out an insurgent day care.
Better late than never, @Tankerwade joins the party.

Last night’s Hollo Pointe mission was Back Of The Hand. It lasted about ~4 hours, and Blue managed to squeak out a victory.
@SierraAlphaMike and I making a run in to the Roki Tunnel -
SAM, you did a ton of good taking out that BUK! That cleared the path for the rest of us.
GBU-31 on the Roki Tunnel East; the canyon is too steep for laser guided GBU-10s -
Roki Tunnel East is closed to through traffic -
Despite the damage at Vaziani, a few birds were able to make it out of Vaziani Airbase -
@EinsteinEP was able to roll his MiG-21 out of a damaged bunker to deliver a nuke blow to Roki West -
Bomb away (successfully this time!) -
umm, forget that last part…
@EinsteinEP streaking away from the blast area -
Close enough with nuclear weapons -
It looked worse than it was -
Everything was fine up to the point when I pulled the emergency break -
@slow5x5 (Slowhand) and I wrapped up the mission by taking out the Red Rocket Factory, wow did it explode! -

Some Mirage action, @Toppometer and @Bogusheadbox pictured.
I also got a kill but got shot down a short time afterwards.

I’m still not sure what happened here, but it had both @near_blind and @Maclean giggling.
@Toppometer finishes off a MiG-21bis.
Me in my Tiger, taking my sweet time to get to the AOR.
Me returning home after getting a kill. No screenshots of the fight itself, since I was busy.
Need to add a screenshot button to my HOTAS configs.
@Freak explores the grassfield capability of the F-15C.
@klarsnow, you’d be glad to know that @near_blind paid us handsomely to not take and then post screenshots of this activity.
@near_blind getting the angle advantage in a hill fight, @Maclean puts up a decent fight…
…but only the the victor can emerge victoriously.
@Fridge bringing it home, sexy-like.

@near_blind watching his or @Bogusheadbox shot (not sure who’s it was).
Earlier this day:
me and @TheAlmightySnark playing around in the tiny jets
And some more shots of the helo-take-off-and-shoot-away mission, where @EinsteinEP tried to get some BBQ ingredients to the troops on the ground, while the rest of us were already lighting the BBQ. Everywhere…
It started out with a nice taxi, but then…

Those last two show the typical Mudspike mission. Nice!

… and Mac. Where was he?
IN THE GRASS! 
Why?
I flew from Sukhumi to Gudauta to join up with near_blind. I forgot I had a full load of fuel and eight missiles so my landing was … okay, silly.
But… brakes were useless.
The grass slowed me quite well.
By the way, thanks for NOT showing my screwup! 
I think that was me in the first picture… nose VERY high trying to ease down onto the runway.
@Aginor refueling.
@Toppometer and @EinsteinEP taking off.
@near_blind looking for a Zeus
@EinsteinEP on a guns pass.
@near_blind fearless with rockets against a Zeus.
@Toppometer coming off the target.
@near_blind acting cool.
@Tankerwade looking cooler.
@Aginor with a kill.
@Toppometer with a guns kill …
… and in a lag roll over a bandit.
