Good morning, gentlemen.
As you know, SAC has been tasked to support the 59th Attack Fighter Squadron during their red flag operations.
For today's mission, we will launch five tankers to refuel three fighters each.
We will launch them at one minute intervals, beginning at 1400 Zulu.
The main dis-delay is to launch free flow as we get to the stream.
Remember, you've got 12,000 to go, 22,000 to go, three miles a day.
It shouldn't be any problem.
Have a good flight.
Thank you very much.
Okay, call sign today is Mount 60.
Takeoff time, 10 local, in support of red flag.
We've got three hours.
Fuel load today is 70,000 pounds.
We're going to be refueling six F-15s.
Fueling airspeed will be 315, 641.
We've got a 36,000 pound offload.
We're refueling 12,000 feet.
Good morning, gents.
Welcome to red flag.
I'm Colonel Jim Woods, the red flag commander.
And for the next two weeks, we're going to subject you to the simulated combat associated with your first 8 or 10 combat missions.
You'll be attacking realistic targets, those targets protected by the aggressors and F-5s, surface-to-air missiles, as well as any aircraft artillery.
And your communications problem will be compounded by communications jamming.
It's up to you at this point to put it all together, all that training that you've had up to this point in time, to get the best out of this particular exercise.
Okay, today, guys, our mission is going to be a combined mission of both sweep and force protection.
Tony, you and I are going to be eagle flight, and we'll be responsible for the sweep part of the mission.
We'll proceed the strikers into the area, and we'll be responsible for maintaining air superiority, or in other words, keeping the red air off the strikers.
On takeoff, we're going close echelon up to Desert Rock.
At Desert Rock, it'll be a right-hand turn to go north up toward court site.
At court site, we'll be splitting into two elements.
Baron 13 and 14 will be staying at court site, and liking to drop down to a 10,000-foot block.
Ron, you'll be flying in lion flight, responsible for force protection with the strikers.
Jack, you'll lead wolf flight, establish a roving cap in the northern area to be responsible for protecting the strikers during egress.
For sweep, Tony, you and I, we're responsible for air superiority.
We'll try to search out for an entire time out there, primarily looking for red air.
Your job today will be to look for blue air-ground strikers.
We want to go ahead and strip the cap while the players come inbound,
so that 13 and 14 are able to hit the strikers prior to getting to the target.
73, you got those F-15s on left-hand turn now.
Brake left, brake left, we're up 270.
They're now 5 o'clock, about a mile and a half.
You're braking left.
Right behind them, 12 o'clock.
I got him, going down.
He's rolling out, he's rolling out, stay with him.
Rog, going with him, going with him.
He's braking right, he's braking right.
There he goes, don't lose him.
Rog, he's on my nose, I still got him.
He's rolling out, brake left now, brake left.
Braking left.
Turning with him.
There he goes, climbing up, watch him.
Rog, I passed him, he's on my tail.
6 o'clock, crossing over, run him now, run it.
Now, jake hard, jake hard.
I'm tracking, he's in my sights.
Roger, confirmed hit, mission completed.
Roger, let's go home.
Sometimes the hair just tends up on the back of your neck.
You know you better take one last quick peek, and that's what happened today.
I was flying down towards port side, and Denny was engaged with the guys up at Reveley.
I made a quick check and saw you sliding in, and I just pulled back, and that's where we ended up.
Okay, that was an excellent move, because when you did do that belly check, came back in.
With the air speed ahead, I overshot and went to the outside.
When all the equipment was on, I did that quick hand glrich down ball.
That's why it was a two horsepower engine, because at that point I was just right above the exact
spirit line of that last run.

The name of the game today, gentlemen, is going to be emphasizing all-aspect weapons
employment, us and not them.
And BBR will be authorized, so I'd like to see us out there employing front-aspect shots,
taking people out.
We want to target max number of entities, maintain force hit mutual support, maintain
visual element support, accept zero losses.
Everybody job in here to kill their sort and then kill somebody else.
Remember you have the aim seven, the aim nine, as well as the gun.
When you're in too close for a missile shot, close for guns.
Take that snapshot.
Think about separating.
Continue to press the bandit.

Okay Pat, for the crossover break, I'll be coming down with a high turn and a real steep dive to the line and it'll be a hard set on the bottom because of the terrain and it'll be a real fast standby six, six out ready now, so we'll be looking for that.
