* KAPPA SQUADRON REPORT * MAJ Tempest * May 24th, 2003 *
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

Welcome to the newest Kappa Squadron report. I'm all in all pleased
with the activity of the squad atm (although the veterans are a lil
silent), and I'm also pleased with the 4/5 participation in the last
round of the SL, but I also want to let out some ranting. That's about
the deadline for the SL submissions. See, yesterday at about a quarter
to midnight I became kinda nervous because I had only two submissions
for the SL... well, two more were coming short time later, but really
guys, you don't have to stress my nerves that much. :P
With two weeks time for a mission, one would think that you could
submit some time about Friday noon (or even earlier). :P Thanks.
On with the news. :)


Squadron News
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- Fifth round of the SL has ended. No results yet, of course, as the
deadline was yesterday. Currently, we're on fifth place.
Keep up the good work and fly for round six. See orders section.

- We also won the second round of TSI against Sigma... well, possibly
because they didn't fly for the second round. :|
However, we're now in the finals against Yod. They did excellent so
far (their scores in first and second round were higher than ours),
so let's all give our best. Details in the orders section.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------


Squadron Orders
¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯

- Fly FT 229 (attached) for the Sovereign League, Round 6. Deadline
is Friday, 6th of June. Do your best!
I was told that the flying tips I sent out for 220 were considered
helpful, so I'll do it for this mission as well as soon as I've
flown it.

- Fly FT 188 (attached) for the TSI finals, opponent is Yod!
Deadline is Tuesday, May 27th, midnight PST (converts to 7 on
Wednesday morning in GMT).
As with the SL, submissions go to me only, I'll forward them.
Don't start to fly this one last minute, it's a kinda tricky mission
that will require several attempts until you have the right timing!
Also see the tips I sent out earlier this week.
