It was a crappy day to fly. I don't care if it's an all-weather interceptor...I'm a fair weather pilot kind of guy. :pilotfly:Anyway, when the Frigates began to fire on the target I was closing on, I knew it wouldn't end well for him.

Simple answer is I cheat!

For dramatic effect the airfield pictures are from various missions I've recently flown in my new SF2: USMC install, and the queue of aircraft waiting for take-off is just from me choosing lots of different aircraft for my squadron in the single mission Load-out screen.

Having said that, once I took off I sent everyone else home and flew the RAF C-130 to make a cargo drop close to a village near the Ethiopia-Sudan border, where I was shot at by AAA an on egress was engaged by a Sudanese MiG-29 which I dodged while two USMC F/A-18Cs came to my rescue and took him out. 

I didn't take any pictures of that mission after takeoff, so my mandatory screenies are a Force Recon insertion off a hostile coast in my SF2: USMC install (the Zodiac is a Groundobject from YAP Straits of Hormuz):

So, I decided to go ship-hunting with my French lunchbox. Never mind that it sounds like a weed-eater, is slower than a fart in a staff meeting, and is generally a suicide mission for anything that finds it. But it has the advantage of being GREAT in a low=level turning fight, and put 3 migs in the water trying to catch us. Results??? 4 dead Sampans, 3 Mig-21 Mongols in the water, a boatload of SAM misses, ran out of gas on FINAL, and a heck of a lot of fun.
