- ISD CHALLENGE OPERATION CANTINA RUN ENTRY
FREE-TIE 150: Phoenix III was the Free mission that I and VA Corran Force chose to use. It was a difficult and challenging mission, and we had a very impressive score by COL Scoser to try and surpass. I know that many of you tried very hard to fly this mission, and it had more than its share of design flaws. I am terrifically proud of the fighting spirit in each and every pilot of the ISD Challenge! We demonstrated our fortitude by fighting until the end.
