On 6 October 1973 -- the first day of the Yom Kippur War -- a pair of IAF F-4Es was sent to scout the oil fields at Ras Sudr, the largest Israeli petroleum pumping facility on the Gulf of of Suez. They found 27 Egyptian Mi-8s carrying almost 700 commandos on their way to attempt to seize the oil field.
In the battle that followed, 14 Mi-8s were shot down. You are the flight leader of that Phantom flight.
