Game Play

US fighters are detected flying north up the Gulf on bombing missions. Your mission is to attack them. If they jettison their bombs and fuel tanks, consider that a win and save your airplane for another flight. You ae to lead Tiger flight of two from Bushehr International west out over the Gulf to intercept a flight of Navy strike fighters headed for Khargh Island. Work quickly as they will drop their role as bomber and switch to fighter rapidly and they are heavily armed. When you attack, they may jettison their ordnance. If so, it is not necessary to shoot them all down to succeed. Return to Bushehr, land and deploy your drag chute then taxi to parking.
