The mission against the important bridge target in Route Pack 6a was a success this morning, with the bridge destroyed with laser guided bombs, two bandits shot down with Sidewinders and two AAA sites wiped out with CBU's. The squadron lost one aircraft shot down by AAA but the pilot - Callsign Papa - was recovered under fire. Needless to say the stress levels have skyrocketed but I've sent the squadron on two weeks R&R to recover, with most now on 2 or 3 stress points.
The VP total is now 7, which is pretty good, but the political fall out from the bridge strike means I can only attack a 2 point target, which is a convoy that I just happened to draw as one of the two possible target options. It only has two strike aircraft assigned, so I'll pick my best ground attack pilots - Scorpio and Boomer - to fly the mission, loaded out with CBU's and BLU-1's for maximum effect. Luckily there are no bandits, so this will be a simple interdiction, ground pounding job.
