Okay 2 Sorties... from Yesterday...
Sortie 1
Strike hit an Aircraft Hangar
2 A-4G
1 Loaded with 2 x AGM-62 6 Rockeyes 2 Aim-9H
2 Loaded with 8 Mk-82´s 2 Aim-9H
Take off was set for 8am great I dont like mornings... 8am and there we are both lined up on the Cat for launch and off we go climbed up to 10000ft and checked the weather few clouds and a blue sky bit warm though... Flight plan was a straight in and out. Roughly 80 miles to the beach followed by 20 miles dodging Clouds of Rock and then roll in and hit the target. All went perfect no one intercepting us at all... This was too perfect... at about 6 miles I locked the Hangar and rolled in slight nose down and dropped the Walleye at around 4.5nm perfect guidance all the way in one times hangar destroyed... Then the Dreaded SAM LAUNCH came up... Not good turns out there was an SA-6 battery down there awaiting us but they mis-timed their launch but they nailed my number 2 dead square no chute nothing but bits of wreckage left to fall to the ground. I reefed around and aquired the radar van and lined up some misery for them and fired the remaining AGM-62 at them which hit bullseye as well. Thats one Radar that wont cause any more problems... At this point the light blues turned up and proceeded to work the SAM Battery over me I went back to the Airfield and destroyed all the aircraft that where parked up with either guns or Rocks... gained me 3 Hercules and 6 Helo's I then headed for home alone... Trap was straight forward followed by debrief...
Sortie 2
Intercept
2 A-4G
4 Aim-9H
Take off was later afternoon 15:45. Straight off the cat and heading to the intercept point which was over 200miles away stupid I know but hey what can we do apart from the light blues job... Anyway we managed to jump the strike that was coming in 50 miles out from their target and after a brief flurry 4 T-33´s end up in the drinkonly for their escort which turned up late to bounce us 8 Avon Sabres not good our own Jets used against us... Anyway dogfight ensued and we where outnumbered and outgunned but we fought like lions those guys knew they had to fly nearly 400 miles back to their base where as we could land at the nearest airbase 50 miles away if fuel was a problem. I managed to bag 3 Sabres in this shindig all with guns my wingie in this though got his get blown out from under him, as he said 30mm does make a bit of a mess of ones jet... My advice is to avoid everything as it usually ruins your day... Anyway he was snatched up by Motor boat and was back on board before 21:00...
So today has been a good day but also a bad day... Will remember to bring the photo's next time...
