- Heart
Stopping. Hornet 2.01,
STRiKE Korea missions, Macintosh. A daring hit on NKAF
MiGs which are harassing a tank division. Full
report available.
- Tanked
Up and Ready to Go.
Hornet 2.01, STRiKE Korea missions, Macintosh. So Johnny
takes out the baddie boats, the Flankers and a SAM site.
He heads east to service. It gets interesting when he
finds a Bear, intercepts and is in the process of
escorting it to a friendly base when it changes course
and flies at a bridge. Realizing that it has dropped
ordnance, Johnny fires on it. The stricken Bear is going
down, and just for fun, Johnny fires a Mav at it. The
Bear bellies out and the crew get out and start firing
small arms, so Johnny strafes until the fuel
explodes.
- Mad
Bear. Hornet 2.01,
STRiKE Korea missions, Macintosh. This replay was
captured from the flight recording equipment of a downed
Tupolev Tu-20 Bear long-range bomber. The pilot has
diplayed extraordinary courage and tenacity in evading
countless missiles and in dog-fighting with USAF F-16
Falcons.
- Flying
Lessons, Please?. Hornet
3.0.0, GSC Kuwait missions, Macintosh. Pilot Officer John
Doe, a new pilot with the squadron, is filmed attempting
to land a Grumman E-2C Hawkeye on the deck of the USS
Enterprise. He fails and diverts to Safwan airbase, where
he makes a very hairy crash-landing. The USAF were
unhappy about the damage to the sophisticated electronics
on board the Hawkeye following this incident.
- Cuban
8 Carrier landing.
Hornet 2.01, GSC Kuwait missions, Macintosh. One of our
pilots scared the living daylights out of an LSO on the
USS Enterprise, stationed in Hawaii. This has to be the
hardest of all landing maneuvres
- Underground SAM
site. Hornet 2.01, GSC
Kuwait missions, Macintosh. Cmdr. Frank Drebin
encountered an anomaly in the Iraqi air defences of the
famous "supergun": a SAM site embedded inside a mountain.
Drebin took some time to work out what was going
on.
