We're running another mission tonight, but we'll be short on pilots since everyone seems to be working late.

I'd love for anyone interested to join in. Just let me know what time would work best for you (preferably after dinner time Eastern). This will probably be around midnight UK time.

Mission
Conduct Combat Air Patrol (CAP) over Lebanon in support of Operation Forward Horizons

Background
Since the Israeli raid on Beirut and the U.S. attacks on Hezbollah training camps in Helmar on Sunday, unidentified aircraft have been spotted on radar patrolling along the Lebanese-Syrian border. The Israeli Air Force vows to shoot down any military aircraft that cross into Lebanon or Israel, and the United States has agreed to back this policy. The F-15s at Akrotiri are tasked to conduct CAP to keep a lookout for any of these suspicious aircraft. As of now, orders stand to patrol over Lebanon and U.S. military aircraft are not authorized to cross into Syria.
