The latest intelligence reports state that the IQAAF is planning a possible attack against Allied bases across the theatre. You and Hornet Two have been drafted into the operation to oppose any such attack. You are to fly a BARCAP (Barrier Combat Air Patrol) from Qasumah Airbase to Rafha Airbase and intercept any IQAAF aircraft which attempt to cross into Allied airspace.

 

 

Launch from Qasumah Airbase and follow Hornet Two to your first Waypoint at 380KIAS and 10,000 feet ASL. Stay right with him. You are to concentrate on low flying aircraft while he will scan for high altitude contacts.

2 F-16s will launch behind you to fly a CAP about Qasumah itself.

You must splash any and all IQAAF aircraft which threaten either Rafha or Qasumah.

Recover at Rafha Airbase
