Gunrunner Posted May 10, 2010 Posted May 10, 2010 Date & Time : May 16, 1963, 1130 Theater : Central Europe Unit : French Armée de l'Air, ER 2/33 "Savoie" Formation : 1 RF-84F Mission : Low altitude photographic reconnaissance over Peenemünde The ingress was going fine, I was gently cruising at treetop when suddenly a flash in my rear-view mirror told me I wasn't alone anymore. A quick glance over my shoulder told me I had indeed acquired an "escort". I was too close to the objective now to try and shake it, so I decide to ignore them and complete the mission anyway, the target was in view, I awaited the last moment to gain altitude and take my pictures. Say "cheese" ! Now we have confirmation (beside the two tailing me) the Soviets have Fishpots in Peenemünde (however, if they are as efficient as those on my back, we have nothing to fear). Dodging bullets and doing my best to avoid making an easy target for Alkalis, I got back down as quick as I can. My escort however was not gone... As it happens they trailed me nearly all the way to front, often flying in front of me, but they had no gun and couldn't get a lock. Quote

+Cliff7600 Posted November 5, 2011 Posted November 5, 2011 (edited) Well... The action takes place in 1947. I was assigned to secret flights over enemy lines to test some new material (and I can't reveal the details ) My home base was Shelikhovo, south to the Kamchatka peninsula. This day, the mission was to make a deep recon with a two ships flight. I didn't know who was my wingman and his RIO, and I never will... In fact my own RIO and I didn't really know each other, but the task was simple and we were both ready. We took-off and soon headed north following our flight plan. As we were flying over the moutains I decided to take some heigth, just in case. We crossed the path of enemy fighters but I guess they didn't saw us, and we kept our course as planed. As we're closing to the target, I started to relax because it was just one visual recon pass to perform and the taxi was running OK. And I saw "it"... What came to my mind was "...if only I'd pay attention to the briefing..." But we were there and it was simple, just one pass under ..."it" We notice some trucks and some barracks. Strange As we were closer, we realise the huge size of "what" we had just in front of us. Ok! Concentrate! I made one pass just over the ruins of what should have been there before, trying not to look above. I flew under "it"... I've made it!!! and did a real tight turn to take the course back home... .
