Caucasus
Mar. 02 2024
This is a mission for pilots who love long flights and formation flying.
Our flight today takes us over the Caucasus mountain range with a low level canyon run and after that a fun challenge; Bombing the Beslan and Maykop runways to oblivion!
Starting on the West of the map @ Anapa Vityazevo (TCN 12x, take off from runway 22) we'll have a 275nm flight South-East to Batumi (TCN 13x), where we will land for fuel. Be advised that the runway at Batumi is fairly short. You can land at Batumi for fuel or use Texaco (TCN 51x), which is flying between Batumi and Tblisi.
After take-off we have a low level, 170nm, flight to Tblisi (TCN 14x), following the opening in the mountains a little up north (follow the yellow line). You can also land at Soganlug or divert to Vaziani.
Here we load up with as many bombs as we can carry and fuel enough to make it at least 200nm. We have a low-level flight though the mountains up ahead of us (for about 90nm, follow the blue line) to Beslan (TCN 1x) where we will destroy the runway.
After your run head North-West to Mineralnye (TCN 15x), which from Beslan is an 80nm flight. Here you can use Arco (TCN 52x) to refuel or land, but be advised that we also have to bomb the runway @ Maykop (TCN 2x), so either don't drop everything on Beslan or land to rearm.
We land at Krymsk from the north (TCN 16x) for the end of the flight.
Once we are all together we exit the pattern once we are on heading to the next airbase at an altitude of 28k-30k ft.
