CHALLENGE OF THE MONTH

● ACTIVE

DEADLINE: 5/31/2026

// Operation

Greased Lightning

Execute 3 consecutive arrested landings aboard the USS John C. Stennis. Each trap must score a 3-wire.

// Rules of Engagement

No bolters count — if you bolter, the run resets from zero.
Only one pilot may attempt at a time; coordinate with others before you launch.
The mission tracks your progress automatically and will display a congratulations message when all 3 traps are complete.
Screenshot that message as your proof of completion.

Notes: Fuel is set to UNLIMITED. A video clip of the final trap is encouraged but not required. Submit your screenshot in the designated challenge channel on Discord.
