Wow. Event 1, thank you Paco and the RAG training!

Just started the campaign and had an excellent first event against Gator. I've been playing a LOT lately, and the Speed and Angels campaign really trains you up good for this one. I was never not offensive after the merge in either engagement. I use TACVIEW to look at events after the fact, and it is a great tool. Paco and Chig would have been proud of my two-circle opener in the second fight- in the sat view it looks damn near perfect, like on the white board. Got into a roller after that, took a few late (missed) snapshots, and eventually Gator flew himself into the dirt.  

 

What I'm not looking forward to is having to study all those Course Rules procedures for the events when I'm lead. Lotsa stuff.  

 

Hats off to Bio and Reflected. Looking forward to the rest of the course!

Thanks! Yeah, Zone 5 makes much more sense after Speed & Angels. They compliment each other a lot. 
 

I already reported to ED that the F-5’s upgraded BFM consists of diving rolling scissors into a lawn dart, it’s pretty stupid. 
 

Good luck with the program, it’s gonna get real complex real soon!

Yeah, Speed and Angels makes a huge difference in that you don't feel like a complete noob at Nellis. I even tried Button 11 on startup and there was the ATIS, just like in the first campaign. Little stuff like that makes you smile.

yep came here to say the same, after S&A this feels much more achievable

This explains what I kept seeing in the about the F-5 BFM campaign.
