ID: VM - 214 - Bear Hunt Location: Saudi Arabia, Qasumah Airbase Time: 0300 hrs Conditions: Haze Destination: Al Basrah IQAAF Airbase Primary Objective: Kill TU-20s at Al Basrah Secondary Objective: Kill Migs Waypoint 0: Safwan Final Approach Waypoint 1: Initial Point (50.6 nm) Waypoint 2: Al Basrah IQAAF Airbase (85.7 nm) Waypoint 3: Start location Qasumah Recover at: Safwan Airbase Hornet Two Loadout: Fuel,, 2 x AIM-9, 2 x AMRAAM, 2 x MK82LGB Hornet Three Loadout: Fuel,, 2 x AIM-9, 2 x AMRAAM, 2 x AGM65 Hornet Four Loadout: Fuel,, 2 x AIM-9, 2 x AMRAAM, 2 x AGM65   US Army Special Forces scouts have been observing Al Basrah IQAAF Airbase over the past week. Intelligence knows that the IQAAF uses the Rhadif Al Khafi Airbase in the West for maintenance of it's aging fleet of TU-20 aircraft and move them to Al Basrah in the East at night. Your flight of F-18s are ordered to attack the base and destroy any large multiengined aircraft you spot on the ground. Stocks of LGB weapons have been depleted. We have none of the larger Laser Guided Bombs at the moment. Use the smaller MK82LGB weapon in conjunction with the FLIR to destroy the targets.     Follow Hornet Two at 1,000 feet AGL and 420KIAS. He is hauling LGBs for the hangar areas. Your targets are at the Northern end of the base. The other Hornets will attack the AAA sites about the base with Mavericks from close range. Take at least one HARM with you in case of SAM threats. Two F-16s will launch behind you from Qasumah to attack the runways at Al Basrah with BLU-107B munitions. Beware of mid-air collisions over the base. If the IQAAF try to intercept you it will get very crowded... if the IQAAF do launch then shoot them before they get their gear up!
