Op: Dragon Slayer (IAF invitation)
2022-12-15 20:30 - 23:30 (Europe/Stockholm) | Marianas
F-16, F-18, F-14, AV-8B, A-10C, AH-64
This is an IAF community that they have invited us to participate in. Members that are well integrated in MA and know their primary aircraft well may participate. Signing up verifies interest but does not guarantee a slot. I will make sure we join this event as a number of 2- and 4-ships will solid leads for each flight.
This is Viff’s invite:
We have the following planned event that we will be very happy to invite Master Arms:
We are planning a big mission USN &USAF vs China PLN & PLNAF for Thursday Dec 15th at 19:30Z (20:30 Swedish time).
Since we prefer semi-milsim minded participants that enjoy roleplaying, this is not an open event, I am sending invite only to specific squads and persons.
Some background for a better understanding what this is about:
This is actually mission no.8 of an ongoing campaign on the Marianas that we’ve been playing since May 2022.
It is PvP – Force on Force and we have been using the Liberation engine for world persistence from one mission to the next.
The background story is that China launched a surprise attack on both the 1st and 2nd island chains i.e. both Taiwan and the Marianas.
The fighting in Taiwan is ongoing, and is outside the scope of the theatre, so it only has an indirect effect to the campaign from a story telling perspective, sort of forcing it to be a limited conflict in the Marianas due to real world events going on elsewhere
The campaign starting point was that China managed to surprise the US by quickly capturing Saipan and Tinian.
The first 2 – 3 missions were characterized by the US being on the defensive with limited resources, doing its best to halt the Chinese bulldozer advance on Rota and Guam. The USS George Washington entered the theatre in the nick of time to help defend the islands and the guys flying BLUFOR actually did quite well with the limited resources available to them in those first three missions.
Missions 4-6 were primarily offensive actions against Saipan and Tinian, softening them up for a Marines invasion which took place on missions 6 (Saipan) and mission 7 (Tinian).
The situation right now is that Saipan is secured and the airport is available for operations, but Tinian still has some enemy forces holding out around the airfield, making it too dangerous for landing.
So in mission no. 8 there will actually still be some nice work hunting down the last PLA defenders on Tinian for AH-64 and A-10C pilots who wish to participate with those specific modules.
The main objective of the USN & USAF for mission no. 8 will be the big alpha strike on the Chinese CV task force to the North that is now trying to escape after losing the battle for the 2nd island chain (Marianas).
The IAF team has been working on an elaborate attack plan that requires skillful aviators that appreciate big events and organizational role playing, with participants expected to have good comms discipline, Time on Target, keeping with your flights, chain of command, etc.
I would like to know if you would be interested to join us in this last mission on the BLUFOR side with many modules available for your choice. F-16, F-18, F-14, AV-8B, A-10C, AH-64. There are good missions for all these modules!

Fokus på den här övningen kommer vara helheten med CASE1 – mer än att bara få fina poäng på sitt varv. Av effektivitetsskäl, och eftersom landningsförfarandet är mycket svårare än departure, så kör vi airstarts. Om man känner att man även vill rosta av sina CASE1-departures så låt mig veta, det går att få med såna grupper också.
Nytt för den här gången är att det kommer vara ‘pitching deck’
Vi kommer att börja med en öppen frågestund på teamspeak klockan 19:00. Denna är inte obligatorisk, men till för frågor och funderingar på genomförandet. 19:30 börjar vi spawna in. Har man redan koll på CASE1, och bara vill repetera, så behöver man inte vara med på briefen. Det är OK att komma sent, men beroende på vart i landningen vi är för dåvarande runda kanske du får vänta tills nästa runda innan du kan spawna in. Prata med ATC.
Alla deltagare kommer att delas in i flighter och tilldelas en stackhöjd innan vi påbörjar varje runda. Charlie time sätts till ~15 minuter efter inspawning. Alla flighter börjar ca 60nm bort från båten.
När ni spawnat in så bör ni ansluta gruppen, genomföra HAIL-R och kontakta marshal. Därefter CASE1 som vanligt. Håll komms till ett minimum – på tornfrekvensen bör ni bara sända för ball calls och för säkerhetsmeddelanden.
När ni har landat så taxar ni bort och parkerar på lämplig plats. När alla har landat kör vi en snabb debrief och sen startar vi om allting (med nya stack-höjder). Vi försöker hinna med minst 2 rundor under kvällen.

Operation Cookie Crumbles
2023-01-14 20:00 - 22:00 | Syria
Background:
The enemy has been launching rocket attacks on our forces in the area. Intelligence reports have identified three rocket artillery units south of the city of Khibet Ghazaleh in south Syria as the source of these attacks. A failed previous attempt to find and destroy the artillery has been made.
Situation:
Four Apache helicopters are stationed at Ramat David airbase and are tasked with finding and destroying these artillery units. There are known enemy units in the area, including infantry, Manpads, armed pickups, and BMPs. It is expected that these units will defend the artillery units and may engage the Apache helicopters.
Objective:
The objective of this mission is to locate and destroy the enemy rocket artillery units south of Khibet Ghazaleh. All efforts should be made to minimize civilian casualties and avoid damage to infrastructure in the area. The Apaches should engage and destroy any enemy units that pose a threat to the mission.

Övningen kommer att börja vid skymning och det kommer snart vara mörkt. Fokus är på procedurer och helheten, inte bara själva landningen. Var väl bekanta med genomförandet och radiosnacket så att ni är förberedda.
Vi kommer att börja med en öppen frågestund på teamspeak klockan 19:00. Denna är inte obligatorisk, men till för frågor och funderingar på genomförandet. 19:30 börjar vi spawna in. Har man redan koll på CASE3, och bara vill repetera, så behöver man inte vara med på briefen. Det är OK att komma sent, men beroende på vart i landningen vi är för dåvarande runda kanske du får vänta tills nästa runda innan du kan spawna in. Prata med ATC. Alla deltagare kommer att flyga soloflighter.
Det kommer att finnas möjlighet till både airstart och start från båt. Känner man själv att ens CASE3-departure behöver rostas av så uppmanas start från båt, annars föredras airstart av tidsskäl. Efter att alla landat en gång tar vi en snabb (~10 minuters) debrief, vätskepaus och sen kör vi om allting en gång till. Vi siktar på att hinna med minst två rundor.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Russia is on the move! That means that the fine pilots of MA once again are put to the task to stop the invasion of Georgian souverain. At the time of this brief there are two fronts. Sukhumi in the northwest and Gori in the east. In the northwest we need to halt the advancing armor no later than the river Enguri. In the east we absolutely need to hold so that the Russians cant split the country in two and isolate Tbilisi.
This is a SEAD, STRIKE and CAP mission!
1.2 Area of operations
The whole country of Georgia.
1.3 Time and weather
* Mai 17 – 2021
* 13:00 local time
* Broken (8000’-10000’) Scattered (23000’-24000’)

* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
MiG-25, MiG-29, SU-24, SU-27, Mi-24, KA-50
MiG-25s and occasional MIG-29s have been reported. Expect main threat from closest enemy air bases, located at Beslan, Sukhumi and Naltsjik. Intel estimates that the Russian Air Force will have routine CAP over Besland, Sukhumi and can launch 8-10 fighters in short succession from bases close to these airbases. Additional fighters can reinforce from other bases after a time span of 30 mins from first engagements.
1.5 Ground threats
Infantry, T-72, T-90, BMP, ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-10, SA-15
The north “disputed” border to Abkhazia is heavily defended by Russian armor, infantry and supported by mobile SA system. Georgian intelligence report large tank columns moving from Beslan into the disputed area of South Ossetia. These columns are probably supported by forces from the air and ground.
SA-10’s located at Beslan and Sotsji.
1.6 Friendly forces
Georgian border patrol and local guard units in some cases marked with blue smoke if possible. Mainly infantry, T-55 and some T-72. No air assets. Located in small groups at the border to Gali and outside Gori to the east.
Georgia have an old Hawk system providing assistance east of Kutaisi.

Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established a small base on Guam. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Rota island in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement is expected soon.
Situation:
The marines have now established a larger force on the south part of Rota island. Japanese defenders have been pushed back, and it is time to engage the main defense line around the Rota airport.
During the night Japanese small vessels managed to land supplies on the north part of Rota, attack any remaining supplies and troops on the beach and provide CAP over the area (map below).

CQ Night
2023-01-23 19:39 - 22:00 | Caucasus
We’re hitting the boat, getting carrier qualified, taking turns with LSO (for those interested)!
Read about CQ here: https://wiki.masterarms.se/index.php/Carrier_Qualification

Träningstisdag - Helikopter stridsflygning
2023-01-24 19:30 - 22:00
Theatre: Caucasus
Modules rotor wings: Mi-8, SA342L, UH-1H, Ka-50, AH-64D, Mi-24P
Modules fixed wings: Everyone is welcome to fly by using guns only.
Formålet med treningen er å trene på helikopter stridsflygning og utplassering av tropper nær fiendens posisjoner i strid.
Utgangspunktet vil være at man skal ta ut fiendtlige installasjoner og enheter som skyter tilbake.
Suksess vil bli regnet som at kamp helikoptrene lykkes i angreps jobben sin i tillegg til at transport helikoptrene suksessfullt blir eskortert og lykkes i utplassere troppene sine nærme fiendens posisjoner.
Det hadde vært veldig gøy om vi fikk til noen riktig så dristige troppeutplasseringer nærme fiendens posisjoner.
Siden dette er et treningsoppdrag vil det være gode muligheter for å respawne eller bytte helikopter om det skulle være ønskelig.
Det vil også være kortere fly distanser under dette treningsoppdraget enn ved vanlige THT oppdrag for at mer av tiden skal gå med til direkte strid med fienden.
Treningsoppdraget er i utgangspunktet PvE. Ved ønske kan oppdraget settes til å være PvE/PvP.
Det hadde vært gøy å sette opp en lignende PvP trening på dette i fremtiden.

0 INFORMATION
Gazelle can carry one infantryman, Hind 8, Huey 13, Hip 24.
Our general has most graciously brought us a big ship full of fresh troops eager for combat with helipads on both port and starboard side near the bridge. The ship is located between military grid EP, FP, EN and FN. Use your infantry to capture the airfields. Your AWACS might also have a trick up his sleeve which might help you in capturing airfields as well.
Ka-50 and AH-64D only gets guns and gunpods. AH-64D and Mi-24 does not get to have a human co-pilot. It is strongly suggested that other helos do not have human co-pilots either since we will need as many airframes as we can muster.
Hind is limited to S-5 rockets and a single pylon with 2 9M114-Shtrum-V missiles.
Generation 3 fighters: MiG-21bis, F-5E-3 and AJS 37 is limited to guns only.
Generation 2 fighters: L-39ZA, C-101CC, MiG-19, MB-339A, SK60B is limited to their weakest version of any weapon type.
The Ka-50 is substitute for Ka-27. The AH-64D is newly imported, but looks a bit beaten.
AWACS will be flying along side you in their E-2D. Protect them at all costs.
1 SITUATION
You’re in a desolated place in war time. Equipment may fail. You may fall pray to hallucinations.
With bugged equipment and hallucinating eyes the enemy might succeed in sneaking up on you.
Be prepared.
Remember to use the F10 map in satellite mode so that you know where you are.
Also, you’ve been tasked with clearing the whole of Yemen and beyond. Is it realistic? No! But try telling that to the boss..
The following airfields are expected to be cleared by tomorrow morning.
Bandar-e-Jask
Fujairah Intl
Ras Al Khaimah Intl
Bandar Abbas Intl
Jiroft
Kerman
You don’t mind giving boss the intel that we captured just a few airfields, do you?
1.1 Overview
There is a civil war raging in Yemen. Each side in the conflict is having fluctuating support from all over the world. Let’s not use our valuable time at present moment to ponder weather we are the good and kind or mean and evil. We are here to save the day. Let’s leave it at that.
Luckily at least our side is the one with dessert camo.

1.4 Air threats
MiG-21, MiG-25, MiG-29
MiG-21s, MiG-25s and occasional MIG-29s have been reported. Expect main threat from closest enemy air bases, located SE and N of DAMASCUS. Intel estimates that the Syrian Air Force will have routine CAP over target area and can launch 4-8 fighters in short succession from bases close to DAMASCUS. Additional fighters can reinforce from other bases after a timespan of 30 mins from first engagements.
1.5 Ground threats
BMP-2, ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-13, SA-6, SA-10
SCUD launchers escorted by BMP-2 platoons, protected by Shilkas, MANPADS and SA-13s. SCUD units are reported to be static in marked target areas but as they are mobile they can quickly redeploy and possible course of action is that once SCUD locations are engaged they will start to relocate.
The Chemical plant is protected by one SA-6, ZU-23s and MANPADS.
SA-10 located 100 nm E of DAMASCUS with coverage reaching to SAYQAL.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in the AO.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is still active in some parts of eastern Syria.
2 MISSION
The Joint Force Air Component (JFAC) will conduct air strikes to destroy SCUD locations and chemical plant facilities in order to deny Syrian forces SCUD capability with chemical weapons. A mission success would reduce Syria’s means of threatening its own population as well as neighboring countries.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Destroy all SCUD launchers and the two chemical plants located in the AO.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 1 package, callsign WOLFPACK. All flights are part of package WOLFPACK.

3.3 Order of events
This operation is divided into four phases which will be conducted chronologically: Destruction of enemy CAP, SEAD, strikes on SCUD and chemical plant, RTB.
1. F-14s will neutralize enemy CAP over Damascus, then report SMASH and remain on station. F/A-18s, A-10s and AH-64s will hold at pre-briefed locations until SMASH has been reported.
2. F/A-18s push and destroy the enemy SA-10 EAST of Damascus, then report WALKOVER. Once complete they hit the tankers and prepare to assist F-14s with CAP.
3. A-10s, AJS 37s and AH-64s engage their respective targets, then report DIRTPILE and TRASHCAN respectively.
4. A-10s, AJS 37s and AH-64s RTB no later than 15:45. With the A/G elements out of the AO, the F-14 and F/A-18 RTB no later than 15:50.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Following a coup in Syria by a hardline faction of the Syrian military, Israeli intelligence assess that a Syrian attack on Isreal is being planned. The decision has been made to launch a surprise attack on Syrian airfields, decimating the Syrian air force’s ability to launch attacks of their own for the foreseeable future. The attack will be conducted together with US Navy aircraft operating out of the eastern mediterranean and AJS-37s operating out of Cyprus.
Notes –
1. The mission is set in 1983, and any weapons entering service after that date are prohibited. Otherwise, each FL is responsible for choosing the loadout they believe to be most suitable.
2. To reduce the risk of detection, the mission will be executed in complete radio silence, from the very start. No radio transmissions are to be made between flights, packages or between GCI/Flights, with two exceptions – a) GCI may issue a ‘NIGHTFALL’ call, in which case all flights are to abort and RTB and b) If you need to alert another aircraft of an urgent threat, such as an hostile aircraft or a MANPAD launch. Flights/Packages must therefore ensure that ALL members of their package understand what the plan is beforehand. Note – intraflight communication (within the same group) is permitted, either on Simple Radio or TS, and each flightlead decides whether they want to use this or go radio silent. IRL, hand signals can be used which isn’t possible in DCS. Radio silence is maintained until landing.
3. Each flight lead (or package lead) will be responsible for planning their loadout, waypoints, fuel and attack on their own, and if two flights in the same package plans separately they need to ensure that they are aware of each other’s gameplan. Again, no clarification can be done once spawned in.
1.2 Area of operations
South- and northwestern Syria. Terrain mostly flat desert, with a coastal mountain range.
1.3 Time and weather
* July 07 – 1983
* 06:30 local time
* Scattered (7500′-11500′)
* Wind 268 / 6 knots at ground, 268 / 14 knots at 1600 feet.
* QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
MiG-21, MiG-25
MiG-21s & MiG-25s have been reported. Only few aircraft on training sorties are expected to be airborne.
1.5 Ground threats
ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-2. AAA and MANPADS are expected at all targets. SA-2s are expected covering major cities and possibly at airfields, and it is recommended that all flights fly no higher than 300 feet AGL to reduce risk of being spotted by SA-2.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in Syria.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Expected around major civilian airports, all bogeys must be visually identified before engaging.
2 MISSION
The attack will consist of three packages launching a simultaneous strike on three different Syrian military airfield. Priority targets are aircraft on the ground, runways and other airfield infrastructure in that order. All already airborne Syrian military aircraft may be engaged.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Inflict maximum possible material damage on the Syrian Air force.
Friendly radar coverage over Syria is limited, especially at low altitudes. Do not expect to rely on GCI once over the border. Monitor the package channel regardless in case of NIGHTFALL.
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 3 packages with the following division of aircraft:
‘Hammer’ – Mirage F1, F16, based out of Ramat David, to target Khalkhalah Airbase in Southern Syria
‘Mace’ – F14 & F18, based out of the USS Abraham Lincoln, to target Shayrat Airbase in Western Syria
‘Lance’ – AJS37, based out of RAF Akrotiri, to target Abu al-Duhur Airbase in Northern Syria
3.3 Order of events
Each package is to commence their attack on their designated target at 07:45LT. It is critical that all aircraft in each package adheres to this time on target, as if one package is to early the Syrian air defenses on other airfields will be put on high alert, thus endangering the other packages. All packages are to cease their attacks and RTB no later than 07:50.
3.4 Rules of engagement
ROE: C
Weapons free on all aircraft in the air that have been visually confirmed to be Syrian Air force. Weapons free on all aircraft, ground equipment and other ground targets on or around each target airfield.

Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established a small base on Guam. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Rota island in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement is expected soon.
Situation:
The marines have control over most of Rota island. Japanese defenders have been pushed back towards the northeast, and it is time to engage the main defense line around the Rota airport. All units north of the runway at Rota airbase are hostile, A/G elements are tasked with engageing targets of opportunity. CAP units are to provide cover. Friendly AAA (40 mm) are positioned north of the highest peak on Rota.

1 SITUATION
Yesterday the enemy launched a rocket attack on our forces stationed at FOB Whiskey.
Enemy Forces
Intelligence reports have identified three rocket artillery (BM-21 Grad) units south of the city of Khirbet Ghazaleh in south Syria as the source of these attacks. Due to bad weather our drones lost contact of the artillery during the night. It is likley that they are still located in the area around the towns Khirbet Ghazaleh and Western/Eastern Garyiah.
Known enemy forces in the area consists of UAZ’s/KAMAZ’s, armed pickups (AAA) and a few BMPs.
Friendly forces
QRF arrived at FOB Whiskey a few hours ago. SOF units operating north of our AO, no deconfliction needed.
Civilian
All efforts should be made to minimize civilian casualties and avoid damage to infrastructure in the area.
Terrain
NAI 1 and 2 consists of large built up area surrounded by wooded area. This gives short sighting/engagement distances but good masking oppurtunitys.
HA’s and BP’s are mostly flat desert with some wooded areas. This gives longer sighting/engagement distances but liming masking possibilities.
Time and weather
* June 21 – 2016
* 05:30 local time
* Wind 140 / 8
* FORCE QNH 29.89
2 MISSION
– Destroy enemy artillery units.
– Be prepared to support QRF at FOB Whiskey.
3 EXECUTION

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Ones up on a time there where some lost Abrams from the Iraq army. Not anymore.
ISIS in now parading them in full daylight in the only enclave they have left. Now US want them gone and want us to stretch our legs. Buckle up because this is going to be a long strike mission.
1.2 Area of operations
More or less the whole of Syria, Jordan, north part of Iraq and Turkey. The ground is a mix of mountains but mostly flat desert for most of the flights.
1.3 Time and weather
* July 11 – 2022
* 04:00 local time
* Scattered 14-17.000ft Few 27-29.000ft Broken 40.000ft
* Wind: 269 / 5kts
* FORCE QNH 2992 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
MIG-29, MiG-21 and L-39
MiG-21s and occasional MIG-29 have been reported in Syria. Expect main threat from enemy air bases, like Damascus, Tiyas and Al Qusayr. Intel estimates that the Syrian Air Force can have sporadic CAP over central parts of Syria.
1.5 Ground threats
ABRAMS, BMP, 23mm, 60mm, ZSU-23 Shilka, MANPADS, SA-6, SA-10
Thru out Syria you need to expect plenty of AAA and small SA systems like manpads. The target area around Deir Ez-Zor is heavly defended by by 23 and 60mm as Manpads. There are no reports that ISIS have and large SA-systems.
1.6 Friendly forces
N/A, we are the only blue forces in the AO.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Russia at and around the Larnaka area. They might have resursers in the same airspace.
2 MISSION
The US high command want us to destroy the capture ABRAMS, and as we then are in the area recapture At Tanf so we can use the base for future missions. When Israel heard we’re planning an operation they to have a request. They want us to destroy an EWR that’s been placed on a mountaintop close to the northern part of Israel. As a side show they also want us to level the Syrian FOB located nearby. We have been authorized to reduce any Syrian SA threat in the area to be able to execute our mission the safest way.
EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
CAP groups to establish security to our other groups. STRIKE groups to destroy the six captured ABRAMS and the one Iraqi F-16 currently parked outside the town of Deir Ec-Zor and at the airport, if needed takeout the runway. SEAD groups to cut a corridor in the Syrian defense for a shorter return home. AH-64 groups to recapture At Tanf as an CH-47 with Seal-team 1 and 2 are on there way. Finally, it’s the A-10s and AJS37s mission to takeout the EWR Syria have placed close to the Israeli border with its nearby FOB.
3.2 Packages
N/A
3.3 Order of events
This operation is divided into three phases which will be conducted chronologically: Establish CAP. Deploy SEAD groups. Deploy STRIKE groups.

Establish CAP at NORTH, MID, SOUTH and or WEST. Keep STRIKE, SEAD and TANKERS safe from possible enemy air attack.
SEAD groups to attack and neutralize SA-sites at Palmyra and Tabqa. This will give our STRIKE groups a shorter flight home and reduce the Syrian threat in the area.
STRIKE groups to attack and destroy the six ABRAMS and the one F-16 and recapture the base at At Tanf. A-10s and AJS37 to destroy the EWR and the FOB (expect additional tasking if needed by STINGRAY).

Activity:
Mission – A/G / CAP
Version / Modules:
Open Beta, WW2 Asset pack, Marianas, Spitfire, Mosquito, P-51, P-47, Bf-109, Fw-190A
Lineup:
Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established a small base on Guam. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Rota island in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement is expected soon.
Situation:
The marines have control over most of Rota island. Japanese defenders have been pushed back towards the northeast. Somehow allied intelligence has picked up that the Japanese are going to attempt to exfiltrate a high ranking general using a fast torpedo boat. Or mission is to allow the general to board the boat and then destroy it.
CAP-flights are tasked with recon to get their eyes on the boat, but not overly agressive, since the japs might call of the exfil in that case. After a go-ahead from HQ all units push in to establish air superiority and sink the boat before it reaches A/A cover at Taipan in the north.

* June 1944
* 22:00 (moonlight)

Training Tuesday - You have been intercepted!
2023-02-21 19:30 - 22:00 | Caucasus
Everyone’s welcome to this training!
Planned Training:
1. “Ghost Rider, Strike, we have unknown aircraft inbound Mustang. Your vector zero nine zero for bogey.” So the story began but as we all know, Maverick and Cougar didn’t exactly perform a textbook intercept. This Tuesday we show them how it should’ve been done. Flights will be tasked with different AWACS-guided intercept scenarios during peacetime, that means ROE A – weapons tight as per Mission SPINS. Pre-flight briefing will cover intercept procedures as well as tactics to ensure that any hostile intent can be met with the appropriate use of force.
Modules: F-14 Tomcat, F/A-18C Hornet and F-16C Viper are welcome to the blue side. We also welcome REDFOR pilots in Mig-21, Mig-29 and F5E
