Apollo's Beach Party
2022-07-31 20:00 - 21:00
Fira att Apollo äntligen få gå på semester med att krascha Apollo’s beachparty! Bosktavligen.
Jag har parkerat min P51a hos ‘Jimmy Dee’s Paradise Beach Resort & Bar’ på Guams västkust och väntar på stranden med ett riktigt beach party för MA! Airstarta er favvokärra, ropa in på flygradion på frekvens 305.0 Mhz (Channel 3), flyg till stranden vid N13.29’32” E144.46’30” och anmäl er ankomst. Landa på stranden, i vattnet eller precis bredvid. Baila och gå bort till festen, ta en drink och njut av sommarens bästa häng! Alltså landa gärna, men en snygg krasch är alltid den snyggaste entrén!
METAR 311620Z 23002KT CAVOK 28/26 A2992
Vi hänger på TS och tjötar och kanske skålar, givetvis så streamar Apollo detta på youtube. Märk väl att jag vill ha alla gäster nere på beachen innan 2045! Ingen Breifing innan, just show up!

2022-07-19 19:30 - 22:30 | Caucasus
Everyone’s welcome on this Training Tuesday!
Planned Training:
1. F/A-18C:
This exercise’s focus is time and fuel planning. The participants should pay close attention to the time, using planning and correct speed to be on time.
The flights will be provided schedules containing some already set non-flexible times, as well as some points where they are expected to estimate a time point on their own, during the briefing.
For extra Tuesday training coziness factor, we will start from Kutaisi. However, we will land on the carrier, in order to maintain CASE 1 currency.
9X – 38 120C XT ATFLIR 83 – 9X
Each flight is to, top off, then hold at Bullseye and push on a specific time, then drop a GBU-38 from 20-30k’ on WP1 on a specific TOT. Then continue towards WP3 (IP, start NOE flying), and WP4, performing a pop-up bombing attack on the large terminal building at WP4. Finally another AAR before RTB towards mother (F/A-18) or Kutaisi (F-16)
Kutaisi -> Tanker Arco1: 40 nm
WP2 -> WP1: 65nm
WP1 -> WP4: 150nm
Tanker Arco1 (101X) -> Mother: ~100nm
Schedule times are relative times from takeoff. They will be updated when we know the in game time for the event.

00:00 Takeoff (Kutaisi)

Karta- och kompassnavigation för nybörjare
2022-07-12 19:30 - 22:00
Även om vi i sällan använder karta och kompass för att hitta rätt på ThT (åtminstone utanför våra propelleruppdrag) så är byggstenarna – fart-och kurshållning & att kunna uppfatta terräng utanför glasrutan alltid nyttiga att öva på.
Vi börjar med en kort genomgång av vår wikisida på ämnet varpå jag går igenom hur man praktiskt gör för att gå från ett par punkter på F10-kartan till en färdplan redo att använda. Alla deltagare kommer sen få en uppsättning brytpunkter som de ska bygga en färdplan på. Därefter gör alla ett försök att flyga sin färdplan, och så avslutar vi med debrief och gemensam tacview.
Alla flygplan (eller helikoptrar) kan delta och rekommendationen är att man flyger det som vanligtvis används på uppdrag. Vill man utmana sig kan man lämna moderniteten och ge sig an något utan HUD (eller stänga av den om man flyger hornet). De enda instrumenten som behövs för den här övningen är höjdmätare, fartmätare och magnetkompass (samt klocka, men den kan du lika gärna ha på armen).
Tidhållning kommer inte vara en del av övningen, men vill man inkludera det så är det naturligtvis fritt fram att göra det i sin egna färdplan.

Missions Procedures video premiere
2022-07-10 19:25 - 20:00
Efter oändliga timmar av slit har Apollo klippt ihop den färdiga versionen av Mission Procedures-videon, som är ett komplement till wiki-artikeln med samma namn http://wiki.masterarms.se/index.php/Mission_Procedures. Den kommer att utgöra ett värdefullt verktyg för nya medlemmar som ska ta till sig våra procedurer.
Vi ses på Discord straxt innan 19:30, för att tillsammans kika igenom detta 12 minuter långa epos, innan den visas i Cannes och håvar in Oscarpokaler! Ladda med popcorn och kom några minuter innan. Videon startar med sån där YouTube-premiär precis kl 1930.

Operation Blackened Turf
Four of Israel’s control posts at the west part of the Hermon Mountain have been overrun by a well-armed and unnamed group of terrorists. During the last weeks of negotiations they have reinforced heavily with more AAA and manpads. A small taskforce of F/A-18, F-16C, AH-64 from MA have been tasked to level all opposition at the four locations. Limit force to the four locations as the Israelis only have cleared an area of 4 km around the mountain.

Enemy Forces
The enemy forces consist of armed APC, tanks and infantry. Expect heavy resistance as we have information that the group is well armed with Igla systems. Other large caliber air defense systems can be expected, so plan accordingly.
Our Forces
Consisting of F/A-18C, F-16C and AH-64. The F/A-18 is station on the aircraft carrier CV76 just outside the coast and the F-16 are located at Ramat David and the AH-64 at Kiryat Shmona. Your flight lead will decide the appropriate loadout for the mission.
Overall task
We need to reduce the enemy forces and the air-to-air threat to help the Israeli special forces who will arrive to the targets by three helicopters taking off from Naqoura at around 07:00 local time. ETA at target 2,3 and 4 is set to 07:30.

Bakgrund:
Det sovjetiska örlogsfartyget Moskva blev under natten torpederat av en Brittisk ubåt och har lyckats halta in i skydd bland de norska fjordarna i väntan på att en större styrka från Murmansk ska anlända för att undsätta fartyget.
Situation:
De västallierade kommer att anfalla fartyget omedelbart och försöka slå ut det innan det kan ta sig tillbaka till Murmansk. Vädret är ofördelaktigt för ett luftanfall men tid för att avvakta finns inte. Två fyrgrupper AJS-37 eskorterade av Norska F-5E kommer att starta från Ushaia och flyga lågt genom fjordarna för att ta sig till platsen där de ryska fartygen senast befann sig. Efter påbörjad pop-up behöver ni omedelbart lokalisera Moskva, skjuta iväg era Rb05 och sedan ta er därifrån innan fartygets luftvärn hinner skjuta tillbaka.
På grund av de svåra väderförhållandena kommer F-5 få svårt att navigera. Det är viktigt att samtliga grupper håller ihop så att F5 kan följa med på Viggens inprogrammerade brytpunkter. Det är låg molnbas och dålig sikt – flyger ni fel är risken stor för haverier genom kollision med terräng.
Efter genomfört anfall följer ni samma rutt tillbaka till Ushaia. På hemvägen är det tillåtet att, om ni så vill, flyga på högre höjd ovanför molnen.

Background:
This mission is inspired by the relatively undocumented and in part still classified Operation Midfield which occurred the night between March 30 and 31, 2003, over northeastern Kingdom of Jordan.
On March 29, 2003, Syrian tanks, armored personal carriers, and support vehicles crossed the Syrian southern border into the Al Mafraq province in northeast Jordan, with the intention to reclaim Al Mafraq and the eastern part of the Az Zarqa province. The reclaim is likely to be a consequence of rising nationalism following the Ba’athist Syria, which escalated Bashar al-Assad rise to power in 2000. Unconfirmed sources claim the Ba’ath Party’s rhetoric included Al Mafraq and Az Zarqa provinces appurtenance to historical Greater Syria and that the 1916 Sykes–Picot Agreement by the British and French governments basically robbed Syria of rightful territory, which was further established by the 1923/33 Paulet–Newcombe Agreement, and finally sealed with the British withdrawal from Jordan in 1946. The Syrian roll-in into northeast Jordan on March 29 was quote “merely the national state of Syria’s lawful right to do whatever we want within our coherent territory”.
That the breach was conducted in the second week of the Invasion of Iraq cannot be considered a coincidence. Operation Midfield is also known as the 2003 Al Mafraq incidence.
Situation:
Due to the intelligence pipeline, the last satellite imagery is 12 hours old and daytime. Current ground assets do report that a large convoy of Syrian armor and support vehicles is approaching the city of Safawi from the east. These reports are consistent with earlier satellite imagery and SIGINT in separate. Safawi with the important Safawi Interchange merging Al-Badiyah Highway 40 and Baghdad International Highway 10 at Safawi Interchange is the gateway to northwestern Jordan and the cities Azraq, Zarqa, Mafraq, Irbid, and most importantly Amman. Together with the H-5 Safawi Airport, this is a key strategic objective. Jordan forces have set up defensive measures during the evening and night but are to be considered inadequate to withhold a prolonged Syrian offensive. Intelligence also reports Syrian columns consisting of armor and support vehicles, including SAM and AAA units, moving east to west, towards Safawi, through the entire Al Mafraq province on primarily Highway 40.
Time and weather:
* 31 March 2003
* 0410 local time

General kill box operation:
– Kill box ceiling 20000’
– Kill box floor 5000’
– Base 4000′
– Altitudes will within a kill box be referenced with Base + Number. E.g. Adder11 reports an altitude of 12000′ with “Adder11 at Base plus 8000′”
– Permission required by Reynold (JSTAR) to enter a kill box
– All Air Interdiction/CAS flights enter Alpha via the Initial Point (IP Alpha) at 21-24000′
– Report to Reynold (JSTAR) when leaving a kill box
– All Air Interdiction/CAS flights exit Alpha via Exit Point (EP) at 25000′ or above
– Killbox entries and exit are to be conducted from above the kill box ceiling
– Reynold (JSTAR) will advise on targets, kill box status, for instance, if Open or Closed, and if Purple/Blue conditions changes
Remarks:
Reynold (JSTAR) can upon request approve air operations below kill box floor.
Specific Alpha One kill box operation:
– Alpha One is a Purple kill box with friendly forces within the kill box perimeter. In addition to general kill box operations the following kill box conditions/rules apply:
– Upon contacting Reynold (JSTAR) the flight will be relayed to Banshee 01 (FAC)
– Banshee 01 (FAC) will conduct CAS as FAC/JTAC
– All interdiction within the kill box requires clearance from Banshee 01 (FAC)
Remarks:
Banshee 01 (FAC) can upon request approve air operations below kill box floor.
Non-direct kill box operations:
– Target Agile (At Tanf) strike flights: Contact Stingray (AWACS) at point X. Stingray (AWACS) will relay the flight to Reynold (JSTAR). Note: kill box restrictions apply.
– SEAD flights: Contact Stingray (AWACS). If a target is identified within a kill box contact Reynold (JSTAR) for approval and deconfliction. Note: kill box restrictions apply.
– CAP/Escort flights: Contact Stingray (AWACS). Note: kill box restrictions apply.
General kill box procedure:
– Contact Stingray (AWACS) when approaching with a bullseye call
– Stingray (AWACS) will relay the flight to Reynold (JSTAR)
– Inform Reynold (JSTAR) with bullseye position and altitude, weapon load, and playtime for clearance to enter assigned killbox
– Continuously update Reynold (JSTAR) on shacked targets
– Advice Reynold (JSTAR) when intending to leave the kill box
– Reynold (JSTAR) will relay the flight to Stingray (AWACS)
Example:
“Stingray, Arctic11, two-ship Hornets, checking in, bullseye 200 for 40, angels 14 as fragged.”
“Stingray copy, Arctic11 authenticate Golf Alpha.”
“Arctic11 authenticates Romeo.”
“Stingray Radar Contact. Call me back when approaching Alpha.”
“Arctic11.”
“Stingray, Arctic11, angels 25, 30 miles out from Alpha.”
“Stingray copy, go button 10 for Reynold.”
“Arctic11, button 10.”
“Reynold, Arctic11, two ship Hornets, angels 25, 28 miles west of Alpha.”
“Reynold copy, state weapons and playtime.”
“Arctic11, 4 times laser guided mavericks, 4 times laser guided 1000lbs bombs, playtime 45 minutes.”
“Reynold copy, proceed Alpha Two via IP Alpha at base plus 17, cleared to enter as fragged, advice shacks.”
“Arctic11 cleared to enter Alpha Two, will update on progress.”
“Reynold, Arctic11, shack one tank.”
“Reynold copy.”
“Arctic11, Reynold, say altitude and playtime.”
“Arctic11, base plus 8000 feet, 10 minutes.
“Reynold copy all.”
“Reynold, Arctic11 leaving Alpha Two as fragged for the tanker. Ready for BDA?”
“Go for Reynold.”
“Artic11, 2 times tanks, 1 times APC, 2 times trucks.”
“Reynold copy all, be advised Dusty4 inbound Alpha Two, go button 3 for Stingray.”

Övningen kommer att börja vid skymning och det kommer snart vara mörkt. Fokus är på procedurer och helheten, inte bara själva landningen. Var väl bekanta med genomförandet och radiosnacket så att ni är förberedda.
Vi kommer att börja med en öppen frågestund klockan 19:00. Denna är inte obligatorisk, men till för frågor och funderingar på genomförandet. 19:30 börjar vi spawna in. Det är helt okej att ansluta senare. Alla deltagare kommer att vara soloflighter. Alla spawnar in i luften, och efter att alla landat så börjar vi om. Målet är att alla ska hinna med minst två landningar var.

The Persian Gulf
The Iran-Iraq war has reached its’ eigth year. Both sides have launched increasingly frequent attacks on the other sides oil infrastructure in an attempt to strangle their war economy. As a part of these efforts Iran has deployed sea mines in international waters frequented by both Iraqi and neutral tanker ships.
Four days ago, on April 14th, the USS Samuel B. Roberts, a US Navy Frigate, struck an Iranian mine while escorting tankers. The ship suffered extensive damage and multiple casualties among her crew.
Situation:
A retaliatory attack on Iranian forces and structures in the Persian Gulf will be launched in response. F-16C’s based on Al Dhafra will attack two Iranian oil platforms (Sassan and Sirri) using Mk82s. AH-64D’s will follow up to provide BDA and engage any Iranian speedboats in the area. Air cover will be provided by F/A-18Cs and F-14Bs off the USS Abraham Lincoln, located to the south-east.

Cyclic Ops CASE 1 Recoveries
2022-05-13 19:30 - 23:00 | Caucasus
For our Navy pilots and RIOs, this night we’ll focus on CASE 1 recoveries. Not so much about ball flying and individual performance, but on the whole. How we work as a group when returning to the carrier, how to read what’s happening without the need to talk over the radio, and how to avoid the most common pitfalls.
CASE 1 RECOVERY EXERCISE
Required reading: CASE 1 procedures
* Before we start each round, each flight will get a stack altitude, and we will decide on a charlie time (10-15 minutes after the start of the round).
* Everyone will start airborne, approx 60 nm from the carrier.
* Get the flight organized, forming up, performing HAIL-R and checking in with Marshal and so on, following our usual CASE 1 procedures.
* Continue and perform the full CASE 1 recovery.
* Be advised that we will keep comms to an absolute minimum. No flight check-in on Tower channel. No calls except for ball calls and safety-of-flight or other really important calls.
* The goal is that the first flight should show up in the groove at Charlie time +/- 15 seconds.
* When you have landed, park in such a way that you deconflict from aircraft that trap and need to get off the runway. Use the bow of the ship (blocking cat 1), as well as the stern to the left and right of the runway (Patio, Junkyard, Elevator 3 and 4, Finger).
* When everybody is down, we’ll take a short debriefing, possibly watching the Tacview, and then restart the exercise, trying to learn from our mistakes and improve.

Invasion of Lebanon
2022-05-12 19:30 - 22:00
RSVP:
220512 – 16:30 (please sign-up asap though, as it makes things easier to plan)
Activity: Mission – Air Interdiction, Ground attack, Recon
Version / Modules: Open Beta, Syria, AH-64, Gazelle, Huey
Prerequisites: Good knowledge of aircraft
Line-up:
Rage 3-1: Jinx/BFQ
Rage 3-2: Jasnisse/Chris
Salty 4-1: Leka/Troll
Salty 4-2: Vulture
Background
After a period of increasing tensions several minor border skirmishes have occurred in the last two weeks. The incidents have led to a build-up of forces on both sides of the Syria-Lebanon border. During the early hours this morning Syrian forces have launched a military incursion into east Lebanon.
Situation
Syrian airborne forces have landed in the Rayak airfield area and enemy transport helicopters are currently bringing in reinforcements from the east. The airfield and nearby structures are considered high risk due to enemy manpads. Lebanese border troops are stalling enemy advancements along two attack routes, but they are outgunned and in need of air support. Furthermore incoming enemy artillery is threatening the routes of Lebanese ground reinforcements. The direction of the incoming fire is known but the assessed location of the artillery is currently approximate.
Taskings
Ground attack: (AH-64) Assist defending friendly border forces and engage advancing enemy armor.
Rage 3: Take off from Beirut Airport; After passing ingress point (WP1) continue to support northern defence line (WP2)
Salty 4:Take off from Beirut Airport; After passing ingress point (WP1) continue to support southern defence line (WP2)
*Note that WP2 marks position of friendly forces.
Air Interdiction: (Gazelle) Interdict heli-borne reinforcements east of Rayak
Recon: (Gazelle/Huey) Locate enemy artillery batteries and record coordinates for counter-battery strikes.
Further taskings may be added

Threats
Enemy armor elements are expected to be accompanied by AAA and possibly short range IR SAMs. Manpads expected in and around Rayak airfield. SA-5 and SA-8 are expected at military bases near Damascus.

Training Tuesday - CASE 1 Recoveries
2022-05-10 19:30 | Caucasus
For our Navy pilots and RIOs, this night we’ll focus on CASE 1 recoveries. Not so much about ball flying and individual performance, but on the whole. How we work as a group when returning to the carrier, how to read what’s happening without the need to talk over the radio, and how to avoid the most common pitfalls.
In parallel, there will be a normal open flying Training Tuesday, with activity at Kutaisi. However, for everyone who sometimes fly Hornets or Tomcats, and has a basic understanding of CASE 1 procedures, I kindly ask you to join the exercise.
Suggestions for pilots not participating in the CASE 1 practice:
* Practice things in the syllabus for your main aircraft
* Tanker intercepts and rejoins Jax Tutorial
* Tac turns Wiki
* Overhead break Wiki
* Time-on-target

Marianas Test Mission
Be sure to have the map installed.
Tensions have been quite strong in the pacific area, so our forces have been deployed to a sunny and nice island in the middle of nowhere.
This event serves the purpose to see a different part of the world, to test the performance on the map, evaluate if it is all cool on that part of the world and to test a mission template for coming THT’s.
But nonetheless, it’ll be a real mission.

Background:
We just arrived on Guam, life is great.
But enemy forces have captured Rota and threaten to shut down the local bar. We can’t allow that.
Situation:
We cannot allow enemy forces to shut down the local bar. This has to be avoided at all cost. Intel suggests that the most important targets are the ammo depot and warehouse on Rota Airfield.
To prove a point, the secondary goal is to bomb the local toilet building.
Additionally, we have to find and sink a convoy of supply ships heading for rota island.
Time and weather:
* May 1 – 2021
* 0930 local time
* Scattered (7500′-11500′)
* Wind XXX / XX
* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
Package mission:
What is the general objective for the mission?
– Disrupt enemy forces at rota
– Sink enemy convoy out there somewhere
– Bomb enemy warehouse, ammo depot and toilet building at rota
– Clear air defenses as far as possible
– Shoot down enemy airplanes
Order of events overview:
1) Hope nothing goes wrong
2) Fly mission
4) Evaluate feedbach on marianas and mission

**During Case 3, every go-around is estimated to 1000 lbs, and for T + 2 you need to carry fuel for 2 go-arounds. This means that when showing up in the groove for the first time, you need to have 4000 lbs. After 2 go-arounds, you’d need to hit the tanker.

Background:
The civil war in Syria is still raging on and the syrian government is not thrilled that NATO forces have joined the peoples side and strongly urging on both Russia and Iraq to make due on their promise to send troops to Syria if any western countries join the war.
Situation:
Its been 4hours since our last mission and Syrien forces are gathering to take back the base we managed to secure.
We have been able to secure the first base we took but the we cant hold it for long.
We have little intel on where the enemy is coming from and what type of enemy we are facing. Also we have made observation on troop movement in Iraq moving to the border and suspect they will join the war.
MQ-9 have taken off from Incirlik to provide intel for STALKER1
Russia have still not responded but we have noticed several Russian cargo planes landed at Damascus International so we suspect they are providing the syrian government with supplies.
