Flight Role: AI
CAJUN 31: Pegasus AA=0 AG=19 RTB
CAJUN 32: Gekko AA=0 AG=0 TECH
CAJUN 33: Noodle AA=1 AG=7 RTB
CAJUN 34: Griffin AA=3 AG=3 RTB

MS

We lost Gekko before takeoff due to tech issues related to the 4.37.2 update.

On ingress, we received call from escort flight to hold at safe distance as they sanitised the airspace. While we were holding, we had a close encounter with a 3-ship of G-4s which were dispatched by Noodle and Griffin. In hindsight, these could have been ignored saving us some valuable A-A weapons for later.

We received a call for delouse of Mango in Mako 52. Pegasus picked up a furball at that location and was too far away to provide meaningful assistance.

We joined Vosene now in dealing with a pair of Mig-29s. Pegasus got an AMRAAM away at both of the pair, damaging one and missing the other. Griffin finished off one of them and the other ran for home.

There were more Mig-29 pairs launching but were apparently more interested in the fight off to the NW and allowed us some freedom to switch to AG with at least 30nm of spacing.

Pegasus got 4 SDB hits on the cluster of 3 stationary SA-6 battalions at PPT59, knocking out all Straight Flushes and many SA-6 launchers.

Noodle and Griffin destroyed most of the SA-6 at PPT61 including the Straight Flush and Flat Face.

There were still some Mig-29s lurking but they were being engaged by friendlies so we headed home while we could.
