Shot the 30mm at targets at 12,000 feet. Accurately.
Punched through light armor with training rounds and not the armor piercing round.
Can shoot farther if needed on the ground or A/A.
A/A can engage with the gun much farther than the 20mm pop-gun.

More tomorrow.

Concur with the 12,000 foot accurate strafing. Very easy to get hits at that distance.

Qualified in F-5/F-4 and A-10. The Hog was definitely the most fun. It was hard to keep the oxygen mask hooked up because I was grinning so much.

I’ve done well in phone booths with F-15/16 but separating out is a whole ‘nuther issue.
