Pros
- Creative and unique mission concept - Ferry/transport mission was different and was received well
- Fast-paced with dynamic planning - Off the cuff planning added excitement
- Good navigation challenge - Players enjoyed working out their own routes and navigation-heavy elements
- Excellent teamwork and communication - Good use of comms in planning, helpful interaction between pilots (Villmarson/Rayner, Carson/Monzon)
- Human RIO experience - Great interaction between backseat/pilot roles
- Dissimilar aircraft operations - Interesting coordination between different airframes (F14/others)
- SAM threat element - Not knowing precise SAM placements added to the challenge and raised adrenaline
- Low and fast flying - Fun change of pace
Cons
- Insufficient SAM reconnaissance time - Not enough time to view SAM placements
- Single runway airfield issues - 15-minute pattern wait at Maykop; needs two runways
- Communications confusion - Some didn't understand takeoff/landing comms procedures; radio clutter at times; ATC blaring during Swift/Vick takeoff
- Radio technical issues - CH-47 can only use presets, cannot manually change frequencies; should use FMs for inter-flight
- Communication misunderstandings - Confusion between Ninja 21/Ninja 22 - OIC should ensure pilots are in the correct roles, and that callsigns are understood
- Flight lead rust - Some participants felt rusty with flight leading
