Well, the F-19 campaign isn't happening yet. Need to do more modern jet flying first. Baby steps, so back to ODS.
Doing something different than normal. I've joined the ranks of VMFA-232 'Red Devils' and their F/A-18Cs. Normally I fly F-14s or F-15Es. Our first mission started in the early morning. CAP around our home base. Three Floggers had managed to make it through the layers of death; Eagles and Tomcats. We bagged all three. I got one. Two and three bagged the other two.
Second mission was armed recon. A company of Iraqi Republican Guard troops was heading south in Zils. Two had a malfunction (aka stupid non engaging wingman) so I had him fly cover for me. A well placed AGM-65E was followed by an MK.83 and two MK.20s. Three or four shacks per drop, and then a gun run resulted in some good damage. For my actions during this mission in the night skies above Southwest Iraq, I was awarded the Silver Star.
