Third mission from Reforger campaign for DCS Tomcat. Looks like we're on Alert 5 duty sitting on the cat ready to be launched on moment notice. The situation is developing north east of the CVBG. Slow moving contacts has been detected by Bunker Hill (no E-2 aloft currently). We have to investigate the situation.

I think this mission needs other weather theme or change from case 2 to case 3 landing, because in those conditions case 2 shouldn't be performed. Also there was some buggy comms with the Marshall during final phase of the landing. Overall that landing was a s**tshow.

Cassette tape used: Joint Strike Fighter Soundtrack (1997 PC game).
