Hi Youth just to clarify last nights flying, 9 Typhoons took off last between 18:10 and 18:45, Seven went from the ASP all using burners and 2 went from the HAS's without burners, plus the 2 Hawks

[youth]

Thanks for that we couldnt stop any later sadly, we did hear typhoons overhead as we drove away from base.
