Chaff, flares, roll and pull into it. Sim training and elearning being organised now. Nap of the earth training next for some new destinations. Much more fun than a 3% step right?

I would be more concerned about some ship taking a pot-shot at me...was interesting listening to them on 121.50 during the last few skirmishes in the region

Even the mighty Jag would struggle Don, best advice is to stay below 50’ AGL and fly into a notch, that however generally requires an accurate idea of where the emitter is.
I’m sure the distance learning will cover this technique.

I hope you are keeping well.

Wash thy mouth out Don, the mighty Jag.....mighty Jag!
Id prefer for self preservation a decent ECM package, maybe a decoy or two...and for the bad guys to be shooting at someone else!
All good here, weather is definitely on the improve, beer tastes good with sun on your back, it tastes even better after bouncing a pair of lazy F15Es at low level and showing them how good the Hawk actually is with a bit of low down impromptu DACT.
