Emergency divert to Groom Lake....

[Indianajon]

OK so I've played this campaign multiple,  multiple times now but with the new model AIM-54 I thought I'd give mission 7 another spin.  Long story short during the tussle I somehow managed to shoot a missile out of the air with an AIM-9 but ingested a load of crap. Lost all sorts of systems and so immediately knocked it off and aimed for the nearest airfield as a divert. This happened to be Groom Lake...... Well played Sir! Well played

Haha, Bio and I agreed that we just HAD TO include this easter egg
 

btw how could you get damaged? You’re set to invulnerable during the engagement…

I have no idea? My sidewinder hit a missile directly in front of me and I few through the cloud. Lost the HUD, VDI and TID and it was flying a bit off. Both engines remained good and the steam gauges continued working. In fairness the only warning lights I had were for the roll SAS so there could have been an element of paranoia and role-playing in there?

Glad I did though, loved it!

Maybe an over-G?

Ah, haha, had been wondering if this was a general Nevada map easter egg or from the campaign I was playing. Now I know, who to thank . When you don't expect those coms, just cruising and chilling in the air, it actually spooked me a bit .

When I landed at Groom Lake, I suddenly heard a big bang and saw a fire behind me and was initially confused. Did I drop something on my bad, hard landing? But then checked the Tacview record and saw that it wasn't me, hehe.

(I guess that also teaches me that I should look around a bit more when flying, ).

Thanks for this funny addition!
