You are currently stationed on the "Big E". Your role tonight is to perform a Combat Air Patrol with Hornet Two around Waypoints 1, 2, 3 & 4. Cruise at 300KIAS and 8,000 feet ASL.

Intelligence believes that the IQAAF may attack the Ritzhaupt Oil Refinery in force in the early morning hours. Keep an eye out for low flying fast movers heading South.

 

 

Staff at the Ritzhaupt Oil Refinery have reported hearing a helicopter to the North East a few minutes back. It may be a Hind scouting for Allied air defenses.

As a precaution a number of staff are being evacuated to Safwan Airbase in the West and out to the CBG.

Launch immediately and follow Hornet Two. If you see any RWR "spikes" then take him into formation with you and investigate. Beware of diversionary attacks.

Hornet Three and Four will launch in about 15 minutes time to replace you on the CAP.
