Intelligence reports from US Army Special Forces scouts state that a number of Migs were being armed last night at the Al Basrah IQAAF Airbase. A enemy transport aircraft was seen at that base, after flying in under the cover of darkness. It is believed that the transport was carrying chemical warheads. The ground attack Migs have just taken off and are heading East... while the transport just rolled onto the runway...

Launch and follow Hornet Two at 15,000 feet ASL and 340KIAS. Slow to 260 KIAS as you turn onto Waypoint 2. Your mission is to CAP North of the Mina Al Amanda power plant around Waypoint 2.

Hornet Three and Four will launch behind you and head North to Waypoint Two before turning south to the power plant. EID any contacts you spot North of Waypoint 2.

 

 

Ensure that no Mig comes within 20 miles of the power plant. It is an important strategic asset and must not be harmed in anyway.

Be on the alert fro diversionary attacks coming from the South West. US Navy Seals, operating South of Mina Al Amanda, have reported a low flying fast mover heading West. This is the second time they have spotted an aircraft in that area in the last hour. There are no Allied aircraft in the vicinity of Mina Al Amanda at present so the contact is presumed hostile.

Recover on the Enterprise.
