So, I decided to go on a strike mission in an FB-111. Yeah, man, I though. I'm gonna kick some ass in this thing. My briefing told me that I was to attack a comm building in some Parani city. Seeing as how I was to attack a single building, I decided on a conservative payload of two Mk.84s and twenty-four Mk.82s.
Thus armed, I set out with my band of merry men. Off we go.
If you look closely, you can see two Phantoms in the background. Not sure what they're doing, but they're definitely not escorting us. Oh no. Of course, the comm building was not targeted nor was it ever the rest of the mission.
Mission control gives vector as 12:00, five miles.
That looks like it's five miles away. TIME TO DIE
BOOM! HEADSH- oh. Bloody hell, missed that one by a mile.
Ok, that was practice. Time for my other Mk.84. At this time, literally a second after releasing the bomb, I decide to check if it's the right building.
"Right, 3:00, 2 miles."
Oh well, I missed anyway.
At this point I stopped taking screencaps. I noticed a particularly open building near a AAA establishment. To cut a long story short, I missed several times before being set on fire by AAA. I desperately released the remaining 17 bombs within the space of a few seconds and watched them all miss. Cursing, and shamed, I ejected just before my flaming FB-111 arrowed, ironically, into the AAA gun.
Damn comm buildings.
