Nice work, on long missions try to set your bingo a LOT higher btw.

Thanks! On this mission we had our working area about 100 NM away from the tanker. We used a Joker State of 5000 lbs while Bingo Fuel was 3000 lbs. We decided to refuel everyone above Ladder State for recovery and that takes some time. At any point, while waiting for a free hose, I could have declared an emergency and been given priority to hit the basket.

@@cuzn. Oh right, 100NM is completely fair to play like that just unlucky it got to that stage. Just cause long range for me is like 200-250NM working field.

@@HornetPoster Yeah, it wasn't really long range. We were working a 1h 45m carrier cycle, which can feel like a long time in the hornet with the fuel it can carry :D We had a BVR engagement, which drained some fuel, thats why I was below minimum.
