aterpster: thanks, that pins down the code used for the early jets, and confirms the FAR25 date.
JW411 and Basil: Wow, I would have thought Bait to be exciting enough at Perf A without going heavier. I never went there, but heard you guys talking about it in the Muharraq bar. Who could authorise use of MOS? Was it Capt's discretion, OC Ardet, or higher up the food chain? And what was the level of need? Just a heavy load day, or something more urgent?
