Flight: Colt / Uzi (Rotary)
Flight Lead: Corporal Noricka.R

7th Cavalry Personnel Within Element:
Uzi 1: Corporal Noricka.R
Colt 1: Private First Class Chance.J
Colt 2: Specialist Highman.J

Pros:

• mission plan was thorough and included clear roles for rotary wing
• fog and weather made a great environment for rotary, especially for concealing during NOE/contour flight around hot zone
• Uzi provided excellent cover and Colt 2 was able to secure the Novorossiysk objective without loss
• multiple ship flight

Cons:

• nature of mission meant that rotary had nothing to do for first half
• we took some losses for silly reasons (random missile to the face from out of nowhere with no warning; my cat jumped up on my laptop and smashed several keys and disconnected my hotas while I was in a low level low speed turn)
