A SuperPak4 OCA Mission Page 8

As the CCIP pipper crosses the control tower I mash the pickle button one more time and pull hard off the target toward the south. |
|
My bombs hit just short of the control tower near the wood-line, but when you drop 4000 pounds of high-explosive in one spot you don’t have to get too close to make things break! |
|
The blast tears apart the control tower and topples the radio tower. The airfield lies in ruins behind us as we tear southbound in full burner. The MiG-23s are very close now and the rest of the flight is begging me to turn them loose to engage, but I know our mission is done and we are all low on gas. |
|
My master caution light is illuminated… |
|
…reminding me to change the configuration switch on the panel from CAT III to CAT I, restoring full maneuverability to my aircraft. |
|
As we blaze south the Bitchin’ Betty cries out “Bingo-Bingo” and I know my fuel is being gulped at a prodigious rate, but the MiG-23s are still closing. I glance down and see we are down to 1600 pounds. |
|
Yet another threat looms on our left flank as a flight of MiG-21s enters the arena. They show up on my RWR scope and I’m relieved to see a CAP flight of F-4s move aggressively toward them. |
|
As soon as we cross the FLOT I climb slightly and ease up on the throttle. A few miles from Osan I declare an emergency and the tower clears me for a straight in approach. As I turn final I glance down and see a mere 200 pounds of fuel left and both forward and aft tank low fuel warning lights illuminated. |
