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

Date/Time: 08OCT73 / 0000L
Location: Megiddo IAFB
Mission: Operation House Call

Overview: Four A-4 Ayits will fly a night strike against Marj Ruhayyil Air Base in Syria.  The entire flight will be flown at low level to reduce the possibility of detection and increase response time of threats.  This is a psychological strike intended to change the dynamic on the Golan front.  F-4s and MIIIs will serve as diversions to the North West of the Golan Heights.

Several Divisions of Syrian armor are racing across the Golan Heights.  They have met fierce resistance from the tiny number of IDF defenders, but not enough to stop the thrust.  Only a handful of friendly units remain.  They are exhausted and almost out of ammo from continuous fighting through the night.   Within ten miles of their objectives the Syrians are in sight of victory.

The only thing stopping them is what is left of the IDF forces on the ground and air strikes.  This mission is exceedingly dangerous because the threats include MiGs, SAMs, and radar-guided AAA.  You are tasked with helping blunt the spearhead.

Syria has crossed the Purple Line.  Sirens are going off all over Israel.  It is Yom Kippur, 1973.  Instead of being with family, you are mounting up in your A-4 “Ayit”.  You are about to see firsthand what is actually going on.

The mission is Close Air Support.  The problem is communication.  We have none.  There are no FACs.  The engaged units are fighting for their lives.

It is early morning on October 8th, 1973.  The mission is to hit Suez Stadium just before sunrise.  It is being used as a staging point for Mi-8 helos to pick up troops and supplies to be ferried cross the Suez Canal.

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.

Replace the F18 Hornet escort flight and escort the tanker to its mission until it lands safely

The runway at Aleppo airport will be destroyed in a surprise attack before sunrise on 22 October. A single F-16C, callsign HAMMER 710, will be launched from Ramat David Air Base and conduct a night low level attack using Mk82AIR bombs.

Perform a night time low level anti runway strike.
