Thanks to 75th FS Operations Officer "Boomer", we now have SERVER 2 up and running without a password so that anyone can come join and have fun with JTF501. This will also help in cases of recruitment and doing checkrides.
It's been a busy few weeks as the Squadron's have been accomplishing mission after mission. Here's a glimpse of Operation Guardian, a mission built around Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) which incorporated multiple aircraft platforms and mission roles. The A-10's, F-16's, F/A-18's, MI-24's, and UH-1's all working together providing SEAD, DEAD, ESCORT, STRIKE, CAP, and CSAR made for a very complex but satisfying mission. All while dealing with low ceilings and rain to boot.Operation Mirror Mirror Part 2 went extremely well. All flights thoroughly enjoyed their tasking...more pictures to come to show the result of our might...in the meantime here are some screens from our team in action:
93d Fighter Squadron "Makos", VMFA-181 "Tridents", and our 75th Fighter Squadron "Tiger Sharks" are all currently recruiting. Don't be shy, we take all shapes and forms of experience. See our "APPLY" area.
Lot's of stuff going on in JTF501! This week especially we will be super busy! TUESDAY and THURSDAY Training. This Tuesday and Thursday (1/5/21 and 1/7/21) we will be stepping through and preparing for a Saturday Mission (1/9/21). MAKO's and TRIDENT's will be brushing up on SEAD missions. Working with AGM-88C's, AGM-65's, and JDAMs (Trident). Meanwhile, Shark will be polishing up on their DEAD mission roles, identifying proper launcher and AAA targets and eliminating them.
