The USS Bon Homme Richard (CV-31) air group is tasked this morning with neutralizing an enemy MiG base at Banh Minh* ahead of a planned strike against the nearby Dao Jones Bridge this afternoon. It is critically important for this runway to be put out of action. (* playing the role of Banh Minh: Batumi, Caucasus map)
If any MiGs do manage to get into the air, F-4's from VF-111 (Sundowners) are on hand as escort. Air defenses are limited to AAA, but there's plenty of it. Get in, get out, fly smart, and above all, put some holes in that runway.
This mission is part one of two parts. The second part is the strike against the bridge.
See you back at the boat.
