Obviously American pilots refer to them as 'SORTIE's". I wasn't sure if it's different in the UK.
Unfortunately it is becoming more and more common to see exactly the same word used here in the UK. A decreasing number of us still use the correct word, which is "Sorties" We call that the "grocer's apostrophe" here in the UK by the way- is there an American equivalent?
