Version 1.2 updated 19 July 23
You are COLT, an F-5E Tiger II pilot fr om Iran's 41st Fighter Squadron. You have been tasked with patrolling the shipping lanes in the Gulf.
After you get airborne you will need to find up to 12 giant oil tankers that are in the region. Once you spot them you need to buzz the ship to get the registration number. A message from Headquarters will let you know if the ship is fine, or if you will need to get it to surrender to our Navy!
Be careful though, rising tensions between Iran and Iraq may mean you need to cut your mission short.
