Easter Mission: The Return of Mason
Posted: 17 Apr 2022, 12:33
Mason is back after about a month hiatus! And was still in good form as shown in this Snowfox hop we did today.
We had a particularly good mission. We formed up as a package and headed out to the target area. On out way there we detected a group of MiG-29s to our 11:00 and a group of Su-30s to our 1:00. We divvied them up and Mason took the MiG-29s and I took the Su-30s. I killed my SU-30s then turned to help Mason, who had killed his MiG-29s. When all was said and done, we were back in each other's vicinity with no bandits left! It was sweet.
I continued on to the target area and dropped my Rockeyes. I don't think they detonated--I don't' do many CBU drops in the Tomcat so I probably messed that up. I turned and ran for home with Mason covering. On the way back to the boat I ran into another MiG-29 which I couldn't positively ID as a bandit (looked like an F-15). But turned out that it was and my already loose Sparrow found him, giving me my third kill. From there I opted to land at Khasab to get gas and more weapons as did Mason. So we both made it back safely with 5 kills between us!
Noice!
