- Guerre du Vietnam 1973, vous êtes pilote de Skyraider (P-47 dans DCS) et de CH-53 (Huey) dans le SAR Squadron 73. Vous devez récupérer nos pilotes écrasés en zone ennemie.

I'm setting up a series of basic training missions to get the hang of the P47.
The missions will be increasing in difficulty. A successful landing is required to complete the missions.
In further missions, often a hot start will be used to save time.

The first mission is a full setup, start and landing.
Formation flying is an important skill to have.

Please comment if you like, and suggestions to improve are welcome.

The mission is inspired by the actual bombing raid against the Railway Station of Rouen that took place on 17th August 1942.

Recommended number of players: 4+

Default USAAF P-47 skin, early 1943. The bort numbers are variable, so you can use it for any squadron you like.
