CAP room for Air-to-Air Pilots

The 105th TFS Ground-Attack squadron invites Air-to-Air pilots to sign up for alerts when the squadron has a combat mission, where they can perform CAP in sector.

The combat missions may be launched outside of the normal fixed schedule, and this is the typical fixed schedule to expect a combat mission that is part of the current operation:

Tuesdays 1800z GMT+00

Saturdays 1300z GMT+00

DISCORD LINK: https://discord.gg/RXtnNsQ5xP

After joining the discord server, and manifesting your interest in performing Air-to-Air patrols, by PM “Morg” or “Wheelman”, you will be assigned the role “CAP” and mentioned with alerts for the next mission, and in case you are able you may launch your CAP mission in the sector requested. Air-to-Air pilots frag their own flight, and, evidently, Air-to-Air squadrons are welcome to enter the discord, and take a crucial role in the operations. Details of the Air-to-Air mission are decided by the Air-to-Air pilots, the 105th will simply request a CAP at a particular sector, the constraints of the Air-to-Air mission are the decision of the Air-to-Air pilots.

To better inform about the current campaign stock KTO “KOREA GUARDIAN”, the 105th is assigned to sector ZEBRA, and the CAP stations requested will be inside ZEBRA sector.

Anybody have a world map with current areas highlighted that are rendered in BMS 4.35?

In case there isn’t one already done, and it starts the ball rolling, here is a preliminary concept:

Update 10/13/2021:

EDIT: Go ahead and copy paste this image and post updates as we go along, I simply started the concept. If anyone else sees something missing, create a map, copy paste this, add what is missing, and post it, I can easily update the Original Post to show it. The point is for everyone to update it progressively. But make sure these are useful maps that are being used in 4.35, not from previous versions.

@spotdott Hello Spotdott There is no such schedule of 1300z to 2000z. <img src=“/plugins/nodebb-plugin-emoji/emoji/android/2757.png?v=gcfd8gb1ch8” alt=“” class=“not-responsive emoji emoji-android emoji–exclamation” /> The schedule is all Sundays, 1300z to 1700z. 1300 to 2000z was just a slot of time that was meant as “possible missions during these hours” On the all Sundays schedule of 1300z to 1700z, all pilots must be present, and they must be 100% ready and focused for those 4 hours, no interruptions. Everyone makes a sacrifice to be present, which means that everyone must make the best of those 4 hours. Most times the Briefing + Mission + Debriefing is over before 1700z, but just in case it is necessary, everyone is already warned and ready for 4 hours. If a pilot is training they will get some homework to work on while they wait for next Sunday. From Monday to Saturday squadron pilots work alone on their preparation for Sunday, when they have some time in between. I have edited just now the 105th Squadron’s website to make it clear of this schedule, all Sundays 1300z to 1700z. Thank-you for your interest, Morg.

@Morg_105TFS Updated with new Fixed schedule: All Sundays from 1300z to 1700z.

Morg_105TFS

@Morg_105TFS Relevant Alert Update for A-A squadrons: Our current pilots active in this operation have been shotdown South-East of Hwangju. We can not continue operations until these 2 pilots have been effectively RESCUED. RESCUE works as follows: 1 — A flight of 2 RESCUE HELICOPTERS is launched 2 — The Air-to-Air Pilots MUST guarantee that this flight can “overfly” the same AREA where pilots EJECTED. 3 — If the RESCUE HELICOPTERS are able to overfly the waypoints over the EJECTION AREA, and are able to LAND SAFELY back in friendly base, the “MIA” downed pilots are considered now RESCUED, and can re-join operations. Any available pilots from A-A squadrons for the the next few days, report to our server, the mission will start at earliest convenience. Thank-you.
