A LOMAC Mission Report: On Wings of Eagles

To Page 2
I warn Troy off, as the TEWS shows
the first spike of the MiG-29 radars as they rocket off the
concrete.
"Two, pince left! One,
shooter. Music on!"
"Two."
"Weapons free!"
"Two, engaging left."
 |
I focus on the right MiG, and lock him up in TWS, designating
an AMRAAM. |
 |
The MiGs are low, hugging the
ground, and as I fire, I lose the lock. The AMRAAM has
not gone active, even though we are within RTR, and goes
wild. I change to auto-vertical and reff into a hard right
turn, as Troy's bandit cuts across my line of vision. |
 |
"Two,
change-up!"
"Roger.
Fox 3."
I
lock on the second bandit, now scissoring left, and
bring up a Sidewinder. I have the speed advantage on
him and he will not evade me. I am closer than one nautical
mile, nearly in guns range, before I fire. |
 |
The Sidewinder flies true, detonating
just above the MiG and taking it out of the fight. |
 |
Meanwhile,
the second MiG has turned like a cornered rat, and as
Troy fires his last AMRAAM, it fires an R-27. |
