The night was an overall success, we were able to take Erbil Airport. Our organization was better with every one choosing a role and moving out together. SEAD and ground strike elements were covered by aircraft dedicated to air to air. That was really helpful. Communication was better as well.

We just need to get in and stay in the habit of keeping up good comms. If it can be helped, no one should be by themselves without some kind of coverage.

We were able to take Erbil because of this, and also do some damage to two different target areas. We were also able to take out an early warning radar in the process.

In general, everyone did their jobs great and we got farther with coherence than we have in a while! Looking forward to Iraqi Fridays!
