Good flying, Rod! A few notes for next time: If you fly at 100% RPM your flight will never be able to catch up. Fly at 80% so they can keep up. Also, the 2nd and later 3rd flights will jsut follow you around unless you give them instructions using the F10 radio menu. Good luck! :)
I have the campaign and finished it a while ago and indeed, I enjoyed it. At the same time, historically, the sabre was very rarely used for CAS or bombing. The USAF used mainly F-80's, F-82's, P-51's, and B-26's in those roles with B-29's doing strategic bombing. We all have seen the great "the fighting lady" and "Bridges of Toko Ri" watching the great F-9F's do their thing...but the USN used a lot of F-4U's for CAS. I thought the campaign had too many of the bombing missions...what I would have liked to see, was more of the 86 used to cover strike aircraft or simply air-air. I did really like the Casey Jones scenario. All in All a good campaign by the producers and I think you'll enjoy the rest of it. If you want to read more about the USAF CAS role in Korea, you can read "Down in the weeds" by William T. Y"Blood available at media.defense.gov/2010/May/26/2001330262/-1/-1/0/DownInTheWeeds.pdf
Thanks for the feedback! I wanted more A2A missions too, but the only possible opponent being the MIG-15, that would have made the campaign very repetitive. With ground attack missions I could offer more variety in terms of targets, locations, etc...
You could set up your own online multiplayer learner session and live stream that. I think that would be class and I would join your session/community as soon as I get the pc

I was saying the same thing to my video monitor! The rest of the flight is going to burn too much fuel just trying to catch up.
