A mission you can run either solo or with friends to practice air combat.  It is meant for getting into the action quickly and resetting quickly so all aircraft are airstart so you can get many fights in over a short period of time.  You can fly any air superiority fighter in DCS (essentially anything with a dedicated air to air radar).  If you want to practice with a specific weapons loadout you can land at your nearby airbase to refuel/repair/rearm.  AWACS can also be called up so you can get bogey calls and can practice using datalink (for those aircraft that support it).  The DCS module Supercarrier is now included.

Flyable aircraft: F-5, F-14A, F-14B, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, M2000, Mirage F-1, Mig-21, Mig-29, SU-27, SU-33, J-11, JF-17

AI aircraft: F-4, F-5, F-14A, F-14B, F-15, F-16, F/A-18, M2000, Mirage F-1, Mig-21, Mig-23, Mig-25, Mig-29, Mig-31, SU-27, SU-30, SU-33, J-11, JF-17

This is the template I use to fly with Mig-29, Su-25(T), Su-27, Su-33 and J-11. (Correct file uploaded)

The DPRK Mig-29S skin.

A fictional Australian aircraft carrier based on the Forrestal,
this is a Livery file and does NOT require modifying the main DCS folder.

It is a basic livery for the Forrestal, brightening lots of the deck markings, changing the Island to gray, and adding some Canadian touches to the Default Heatblur USS Forrestal.

In an alternate world under a lease agreement with the US Navy, Canada would once again have an aircraft carrier. With a strained budget, a single Forrestal-Class aircraft carrier was chosen. Not long after, the vessel was commissioned into the Canadian Armed Forces as HMCS Forrestal (CV-59).

A conflict broke out on the border of Syria.

Operation Longsword is inspired by the events of the 1983 evacuation of the US Embassy in Beirut, Lebanon.

The player will fly CAP in his F-14A Tomcat off the coast of Lebanon and ensure that the evacuation helicopters get in and out of Lebanon safely.
The mission provides an own AWACS, callsign Wizard who will provide all mission relevant data to the player.
Mission uses a lot of randomizations, so the experience will be different when flying the mission a second, third or even fourth time.

For a better immersion of the set time frame, the mission uses Heatblur's Forrestal carrier.

A skin based on the Wolfen from Star Fox

A British Royal Navy livery for Heatblur's USS Forrestal, depicting the carrier HMS Queen Elizabeth R01. Due to some inaccuracies pointed out to me, I have completely redone all three liveries and updated them to a new standard, and added in three new bonus liveries depicting them later in their lives.
