…with half his wing shot off "In the chaos that was the "100-hour" Persian Gulf War of 1991, over 27 airplanes and five helicopters belonging to the US military were plucked from the sky by the Iraqis. American aircrew lucky enough to survive the encounters were often given a grim fate as their feet touched the ground- with little in the way of flora to conceal them from the enemy in the vast deserts, the reality was often that one would be captured by Iraqi forces, taken to Baghdad and tortured until the war's end…"

Thanks for sharing. Sounds like there are at least a couple of great scenarios in there, e.g. the rescue of the pilot and RIO, AND one for the MIGCAP sorties to protect them from Iraqi jets too. Throw in a few sorties looking for mobile SCUDS and radars, and that should keep people busy for a while. |
