My USAF Forces have needed some work. The USAF forces have several options that can be included in the effort that was assigned to Rolling Thunder depending on year, month and raid. Linebacker introduces even more variation but I will detail linebacker forces in a later post.
This generates the possibility of needing the following forces:
2 – 5 flights of EB-66 jamming aircraft with 2 flights of CAP escorts.
2 – 4 flights of F-105F Wild Weasels.
1 – 2 flights of MiGCAP
4 – 5 flights of F-105D
0 – 2 flights of F-4C Strike/CAP
1 flight of Recon Aircraft
The CAP escort and MiGCAP can be either F-4 (C or D models) or F-104C Starfighters
The Recon flights can be either RF-101C or RF-4C.
The raid could look something like this
and with all the options I need the aircraft bill brings the force up to this
As the USAF in camo make coloured home made decals almost impossible I am looking at refreshing the existing aircraft to something along the lines of this RF-4C for 14 TFS
