Pros:
Flying at night, added some unexpected but pleasant challenge.
F15E Flight had fun performing a search and destroy role for targets (Trains and Supplies being offloaded)
Overall good mission
Mission Structure was well received.

Cons:
The numerous trees and unpredictable terrain, combined with the mission being at night, made it difficult for Rotary Elements to effectively evade fire, when the direction of enemy fire was unknown.
Flying at night, added some unexpected challenge
Unexpected issues taking off and landing on the Stennis. E.g. Lights not turning on, and Carrier not responding appropriately for CASE 3 Landings

Additional Note:
At Sukhumi-Babushara, replace static air-frames with uncontrolled air-frames where possible.
