Wow, this is going to be a fantastic addition!

For the future, the only other thing I can think of to make it even better, would be a screen where the mission creator can pre-assign targets, and you could double-check your target while in-flight. Handing out targets in mid-flight is unwieldy at best.

We appreciate the effort that went into this mission planner. It's going to be a very positive step in generating cooperation within countries.

Very very nice!

I do have one feature that I did not see that would help a great deal.  Radio channel.  

One of the problems in launching a mission is getting everybody set up on the correct radio channel.  I suggest you add a field that allows the planner to pick a radio channel.  Then when the mission starts, channel 4 or something could be automatically tuned to the mission channel.

I realize it may be kinda late to add it in right now, but it would be a great feature to have at some point.

And she took a round coming 'cross the Channel last trip
I was thinking 'bout my baby and lettin' her rip
Always got me through so far
Well they can ship me all over this great big world
But I'll never find nothing like my North End girl
I'm taking her home with me one day, sir
Soon as we win this war"

Nice feature.

Two comments:
1st: The channel option, as mentioned by lephturn, would be nice. Just helps the newbies to jump into organized strikes

2nd: The game time should be always readable (optional). Especially people from other time zones know the problem and confusion that's arising by other time zone numbers.
A AH 'time zone' is a good idea, just make it the general game time.

It is readable az- every single plane in AH has a clock in the cockpit- just take a peek at it.
