Pros:

• Excellent mission, this should be used an example for future mission creation. Organization and level of engagement from everyone was very effective
• Butcher flight completed objectives successfully
• TCN issue, waypoint butcher mismatch, datalink was spotty

Cons:

• Minor: CV-75 comms and TCN wasn't documented in briefing
• Butcher flight had an issue with data link, at some point connection cut out and we weren't able to locate each other, possible its an AWACs issue
• Waypoints for BUTCHER F18 and F16 may have been mismatched by numbering. Mission maker would need to confirm this
• Wasn't able to get footage today as the setting and lighting the mission was too dark. Would like weather to be cinematic for next week
