Eli's managed to confirm intel provided by Bishop, so we're reasonably confident there are nine planes we can salvage from abandoned bases that are all within reasonable distances.

Fresh birds for the flock? I hear you ask. Yes! Except we're not entirely sure how fresh, which means I'm going to need pilots and engineers to fly out to assess and, with any luck, bring them back home. Additionally, I will need to borrow some of you lovely Espio and Ground Force types to take us out in those dreamy Blackbirds and to remain on standby as we scope out the jets.

Mission specs:

MONDAY, 07:00. de Vries + Olshanskaya +1 pilot + Wijk + Dawson (pending confirmation). Destination: Naha airbase. Target: 3 x F-15s.

TUESDAY, 07:00. Sinclair + Hyun + 1 pilot + 1 Engineer + Aldana Gutiérrez. Destination: Misawa airbase. Target: 1 x F-15, 2 x F-2s.

WEDNESDAY, 07:00. Thomas + 2 pilots + 1 Engineer + 1 Ground Force. Destination: Guam airbase. Target: 3 x Gripens.

Factsheets on plane specs will be distributed later today. Read them, learn them, memorise them.

Appreciate it's a tight schedule, but those aliens aren't waiting for it to be convenient for us. Don't all volunteer at once.

Impressive find, good job. I can assist with any of those days

[philiip]

Excellent. Preference?

[reidings]

Just no flying near old staircases, okay?

[dochenka]

I will take one, or if Remy would like my spot.

[philiip]

Which would you like?

[jaxsons]

Good week for us for finding new vehicles.

[philiip]

They're no submarines, but.

[witlessbay]

now you need us to pilot too? what's next, spoon feeding?

[adequacies]

Don’t forget to make the fun jet engine noises.

[agyieus]

hey, good work.

[philiip]

You want in?

[reidings]

Great job and good luck in getting them back. I'll be cheering everyone on from here.

[philiip]

Cheers sustain us. We'd like you cheering on your feet sooner rather than later, though.

[backdrive]

I can help!!

[philiip]

Shall I put you down for Monday?

[foundlostfound]

Great finds. I have to [...] stay back this week. To wait [...] for something.
But I want to fly them when they're here.

[philiip]

Ominous. But gives you time to learn all three jets' manuals.

[adequacies]

In all seriousness, this is very exciting news. I’m free Tuesday. I’ll go.

[philiip]

I'm taking it as a win. And thanks, I've got you down.

[highvolt]

FUCK yeah new planes. i'm not a plane girl, but i'll help with making space in the hangars.

[philiip]

Please. That's jenga that I can't do.

[heelhook]

let me fly

[philiip]

You?

[niim]

I can take Wednesday.

[highvolt]

i'll see you off with a tearful farewell.

[murphyy]

nine planes is a pretty good haul, de vries.

[philiip]

Better if we can get them in the air.

[agueyegrey]

Count me in, Cap.

[philiip]

I already did, but it's good to have it confirmed.

[cjacobs]

I am available should you need me.

[philiip]

Want to fly with Sinclair on Tuesday?

[jetting]

Wouldn’t say no if anyone grabbed extra equipment while down there.

[backdrive]

What do you need?? We can keep an eye out. Mostly I got snacks last time I was on the ground but spare parts and tools are good too!!

[finotti]

Ara and I will already be on the ground for evacuation on Wednesday but I'm sure you'll manage without either of us. 9 planes is impressive

[griiff]

Got it.

[orlaith]

i can do wednesday

[loculus]

What are the naming conventions for new aircraft? Who decides?

[agyieus]
