FLIGHT EVENTS Crowebar joined as Falcon11 Ballistic joined as Falcon13
FL & AI wingman took off with #3 & AI wingman trailing by 10 miles. Climbed to A25 and FL attemted to engage the Patriot whilst #3 & AI remained at the edge of the envelope AA. FL was shot down by Patriot so #3 engaged successfully at long range with HARM. #3 proceeded North and 2 SA6s became active. #3 instructed the AI to engage the more Easterly SA6 but he missed with 2 HARMs. #3 took out the HAWK radar with his remaining HARM, having to go defensive to avoid being shot down by the HAWK. Magic 1 AWACs (Vosene) reported hostile aircraft - 2 groups North of target area, so #3 engaged with AI requesting no support from Cowboy 1. The AI's were shot down and another group of hostile MIG 21-93s were also hot on #3 with R77s (Not wise to engage without support & AI's were useless!). #3 disengaged and ran to the SE of the target and managed to re-engage 2 Mig 29s, desperately trying to return to target area with his 2 remaining AGM 65s to deal with the SAMs. A 3 ship of Mig 23's quickly put the brakes on that idea and with #3 now Bingo fuel he dropped AG stores & headed for the alternative airfield running away from the Migs and a successful landing - in the rain and poor visibility.
An exciting TE but unfortunately after losing Crowebar early and trying to co-ordinate and rely on AI wingmen the SEAD soon became a defensive 1 ship with active SAM threats still at the target. Once overwhelmed by hostile AC and low on fuel there was no choice but to run for home. Perhaps #3 should have requested assistance from Cowboy 1 at the first AA engagement, however the Strike flight were heavy with A-G weapons.
Nice TE Homer, it kept me on my toes - Don't think SEAD Escort deserve the mission success though as the strike flight could not get to the target due to active SAMs still present.

We decided we needed three in the SEAD to get rid of all the threats and allow the two human strike pilots to get to the target...
Falcon took off and hard climbed to A30+ to target the Patriot as soon as possible. Meanwhile Cowboy were to wait on the deck until the Patriot was down.
Novac spotted and killed the Patriot but Lumper advised that 12 enemy attack aircraft were heading towards our base. I instructed Cowboy to get airborne in case our Patriot didn't kill them all.
Falcon then moved towards the targt area. I launched a HARM at an SA-6 but it moved behind a building which my HARM hit. I then turned defencive as a HAWK was launched at me. Now despite the tactical reference teling me that the Hawk ceiling is 11500 ft it managed to hit me at A34!!!. So that was me in the silk. Floyd took over and together with Novac engaged the Hawk and two SA-6's. THey were then winchester AG so Comie1 wisely called end ex and the guys went home.
A tough mission that neede more human pilots than was available. Nice TE Homer.

I am gutted at missing out flying it with everyone, but I agree it definitely needed almost max humans available. Glad it has been well received though!
