So with JB telling me him and Steve took a flight and the SAM's weren't firing at them for whatever reason and there was no air activity, I went on a SEAD Strike to see here on my end what was up.

Went after an SA5 BN.

Just as I was about to fire off my Shrike at the SA5 a Tornado ripped an AIM120 at me. I got the Shrike off and went defensive. Then the SA5 took a shot at me. So now I was really running, FAST.

I was able to shake them. I turned back around to try to take that Tornado down. He got 2 more 120's off at me and I launched long range at him with a 120. Now I was really, really, really running FAST, lol

As I was trying to get the hell out of there, I flew near one of the Carrier groups and them bitches launced 2 SM2-MR's at my ass, now I had 4 miscules inbound. I was sure I was dead, I was NOE and burning the fuel up like I was in a dragster.

Finally all the launch warning lights went out and I was in the clear. I only had about 2000lbs of fuel, but I wanted to kill that Tornado, he was 30 miles out so I turned to see if I could get him. Well that didn't work, I got another shot off, but at long range as I had to turn and get home, I was down to 1200lbs and Homeplate was 125miles away and the alternate was 110. I would have -900lbs getting to Homelplate, so there was no was I was going to make the alternate either.

The divert field was about 80 miles, so I went there. Thought I was going to have to dead stick it. But I was able to land. Before I touched down, my fuel was 0, and I was able to taxi off and park.

Hit the SA5, got a mission success.

Another AIM120's inbound:

1 more AIM120 and 2 SM-2MR's inbound:

Mission Success, I'M ALIVE!!:

I didn't drop one Chaff or Flare to evade any of those missiles as my DTC was not working, I had not programed them. I just turned and burned. I was crapping when I realized something was wrong but I stayed NOE as much as I could and I survived.

Crazy flight.

Brian

Also JB, pretty sure I got the Consolidating issue fixed.

BUT, LOL, it means there will be a constant air was until we can shut it down.
