As the war rages on in Lebanon, the United States Navy deployed the Roosevelt Carrier Battle Group to support the UN peacekeeping operations in Lebanon. REQUIREMENTS: Syria Map, F-14 Tomcat, Supercarrier

It is the first full day of the Yom Kippur war, 07 OCT 1973.  IAF aircraft are taking off in support of troops on the ground in Sinai shortly.  They will be faced by units that have had all night to dig in are are under cover of SA-2, SA-3, SA-6, SA-7 and AAA guns.  All your skill will be tested in the missions today.  

So I wanted to make a simple mission where I'd be able to have a fun, not too complicated flight with the F-14B and use the new TARPS reconnaissance pod that we got recently. This is mostly a mission where you takeoff from the Supercarrier in 1988, fly to your waypoints, take photos of suspected Soviet deliveries of T-55 tanks and BMP-2s, (sound effects included) then fly back to the carrier and land. If you perform the mission correctly, you get an idea of the pictures you took right after your plane comes to a stop on the deck of USS Theodore Roosevelt.

Israel is under attack.

It is October 6th, 1973, Yom Kippur.  The most holy day of the year.  Most IDF members are home with family or on leave.  The situation is dire.

Without warning, Egyptian Air Forces destroyed or damaged airfields and military facilities throughout the Sinai.  In what was expected to take days, Egyptian units have breached the sand walls of the canal in mere hours.  Reports indicate massive forces are moving across the Canal and overrunning the Bar Lev Line.

Hailing from Shiloh, the capital of the Osean State of Kenton, the “10 of Spades'' Squadron is one of the few Mirage F-1 operators left within the Air Defense Force. Despite its advanced age and overall limitations, the 110th Fighter Squadron proved that the F1 was still an effective fighter during the defense of Shiloh in the opening minutes of the Lighthouse War.

As Erusean MQ-99 drones attacked the city and its infrastructure, two Mirage F1s launched and intercepted the CUAVs, and in using their superior climb and speed advantages, were able to down the Erusean aircraft using slash attacks against the smaller subsonic aircraft.

Despite initial successes, the Squadron would remain in Shiloh during the remainder of the conflict, though their successes have positioned them to receive the F-35A in 2030 with the full retirement of the Mirage F1.

Unlike most units that were granted to the States from the Osean Air Defense Force’s existing squadrons, the 170th Air Refueling Squadron was instead granted to Kenton in 1972 from a fellow States Air National Guard component. Stood up in 1956 for the Nassau Air National Guard, the Gargoyles started life flying the KC-97, before transitioning to the KC-135 in 1962. With the Nassau Air Guard wanting to focus on becoming a fighter force to support the Oured Air Guard, the OADF was at an impasse still wanting to keep a localized tanker force available. Kenton Air Guard, looking to expand its own wing, petitioned the OADF to move north to the heartland.

Now assigned to the 122nd Wing in Shiloh, the Gargoyles would act as a critical support element to fighter training from nearby bases. In 1995, the Gargoyles would be one of the many squadrons deployed to Osea’s Eastern border to support the ongoing war effort, and would fly multiple sorties over Ustio during the conflict.
