Two On Two.rpl The "Two On Two.rpl" is from the first mission in the William Tell set. Take off is as normal with Hornet One tucked in behind Hornet Two. Hornet One waits until Hornet Two reacts to the bogeys. Watch the way the bogeys will only switch on the radar as they pass. Hornet One begins a smooth pull-up over the top into an Immelman and targets the bogey nearest Hornet Two. He kills it with his M61 Vulcan cannon as Hornet Two reverses on the second bogey. Hornet One then allows Hornet Two to fight the bogey and stays low... keeping the fight in sight. Hornet Two "bingos"and dives on out for home. As he dives he drags the second bogey down with him. Hornet One accelerates and comes up fast behind the bogey. He takes a maximum range shot at the bogey and hits it with one burst. Fight over.   0423 hrs.rpl Hornet Two and One take off with Hornet One slightly in front. They begin a long ingress to the IP and catch up with the F-16s as they turn onto Waypoint 2. On the way to the Supergun complex a SAM site paints Hornet One. He is straight into afterburner and advances, firing a HARM from under 10 miles. The HARM hits and the SAM dies in the air. They flight presses onto the target and kills the AAA around it... as the UH-60s arrive. Another SAM site illuminates and fires on a F-16. Does it get hit? Hornet does not know, nor care, and heads on in. He accelerates and shoots his last HARM as a SAM flies across his 2 o'clock. The site dies... Hornet One takes Hornet Two into formation and they press South again to CAP between Waypoint 2 and 1. Suddenly two radar spikes appear from the South... Mig-23s! They gain some alt and Hornet One orders Two to press on the trailing Mig. The lead Mig fires a heat seeker at One who rolls and it misses. The Mig avoids his AIM-9 so One goes vertical, rolls, and attacks the Mig with his gun. He shoots a few times and finally scores.... "mission successful" comes across the radio. Two reports that he is low on fuel... One tells him to continue on home which was a big mistake. More Migs arrive and target the returning helos as Hornet Three and Four bomb the target at Waypoint 2. One advances on a pair and then four Migs... he hurriedly calls Two back into formation with him. With only a AIM-9 and an AMRAAM left One makes a choice to ignore the lead pair who will no doubt, and seem to be, targeted by Three and Four. The second pair lock him up and he fires both missiles at each bogey from 4 and 5 miles out. He accelerates into the bogey who turns right... and it opens up! Two missiles come off the rails. The first misses... the second, fired from within 1 mile, leaves no options. One should have broke low. The missile gets a proximity hit and One is out of the fight. He avoids an ejection and choose to make a forced landing in a burning aircraft... not normally a wise thing to do. As he lands a Mig-21 makes repeated attacks on him from high 6 but misses. One notices more air bursts off to his 9 o'clock, low on the horizon, but he does not care too much. It's going to be a long walk home...   Bear Hunt.rpl Hornet One follows Hornet Two as they launch from Qasumah. They ingress low and at 420KIAS past the H2 Airbase... which scrambles two Mig-21s to challenge them. Hornet One waits until Hornet Two reacts and selects his own target which is the first Mig off of the runway. Hornet One blasts the AAA site at the base with a HARM to stop the AAA hitting Hornet Two if the fight goes low. As the second Mig takes to the air Hornet One waits until it is pointing right at him then fires an AMRAAM. Hornet Two splashes his Mig... the AMRAAM from Hornet One misses so the fight turns into a knife fight with guns. Hornet One is lucky to survive he but gets the Mig. They press onto Al Basrah Airbase as two F-16s from Qasumah pass them by on the way to hit the runways. Hornet Three and Four are observed in the distance as they shoot the AAA sites at that base. IQAAF fighters launch to intercept the flight... Hornet One ignores the SAM and bogeys and presses on to the target at the base. He seeks out the TU-20 with the FLIR and lays in a MK82LGB right on top of it. However the LGB misses! The F-16s lay waste to the runways to stop the TU-20 from taking off and it grinds to a halt at the end of the taxiway. A serious fight develops over the base, during which Hornet One seems to kill two more bogeys. The skies clear and he is the only survivor as well as a SU-27 who extends away South East. Hornet reverses and hit the Tu-20 with another LGB which ends the mission successfully. He goes low and follows the SU-27, coming around behind him and shooting him. Onto Safwan for recovery and he seems to be the only survivor of the fights... Hornet Two is long gone, maybe Three and Four , and the F-16s... it was a massacre. Why did the tower at Safwan tell him to "clear base"? Who survived to recover there?
