We Are Under Attack

 

The first war time mission in the series.

 

Israeli covering forces are under attack and are hard-pressed by Syrian armor. The Syrian air defenses are dense and effective.

 

What is one Skyhawk to do?

 

Fly Low. Pop up hard. Find the targets in a hurry.

 

And drop some bombs on the enemy... or die trying!

I am hoping to release all of these missions eventually. So everyone can give it a try.

 

Staty tuned.

 

Looking forward to it :thumbup:

Episode 3 - Into the Dark

 

It's evening on 6 October, 1973. Israeli covering forces are stretched the breaking point with Syrian armor opening gaps in the southern sector of the Golan Heights. Now, Syrian infantry, with the aid of Soviet provided night vision gear is preparing to infiltrate those gaps and blow the front wide open.

 

The Syrian integrated air defense system is still in place and inflicting losses.

 

What is one A-4 Skyhawk to do? Tune in to find out...

See the attached screenshots of a couple of books that were very helpful.

 

Before embarking on this little project, I really didn't know much about the Yom Kippur war. I read the books and did a lot of flying over the Syria map while trying to locate the landmarks they mentioned.

 

I have a video that includes a "battlefield tour" that also might help you get started.

 

 

Good luck. Let us know how you make out

Guys - I am trying to decide where to put the effort in making new videos and missions, if you could let me know what you think of this series, I would really appreciate it. Would you rather see more "story" videos like this - or more "tips and tricks" type tutorial videos? Or would you rather see videos featuring different aircraft. I'd really like to know!
