G6ing the K4

A little known incident happened in 72, “somehow” 3 Soviet MiG21 had flown across Finland and Sweden without detection, and flown into Norwegian territory, flying straight towards Bodø Air Base.

 

 

And “somehow” two American F-4s happened to be straight in the path.

 

What follows has been kept secret from everyone not involved for over 50 years.

 

But here is video proof.

 

After using 6 missiles to shot down 2 MiGs, my wingman naturally running out of fuel(or shot down, don't really know) I discovered I had less than 1000 pounds of fuel left. At first I thought I was boned, but I happened to be almost directly east of Bodø, when Jester set in the Tacan numbers I had to just do a tiny correction and I lined up perfectly, I spent some fuel to get over 20-25 000 feet, and put her in idle, and I have to say, she glides good on idle, burning less than 1000 pounds an hour and having some 700 pounds, things were going well and we semi glided like that for 40 nautical miles. If I had judged my landing better I could have landed like that, but I got a little short and had to use high mil power to stop slamming into the ground a few meters before the runway.

 

 

I did my best landing ever in the F-4, which was surprising as 10 minutes earlier I thought I was gonna have to bail out. Only time Jester hasn’t bitched about my landing. Fuel gauge showed 490 pounds left when I stopped. So except for the loss of my wingman, I think it went quite well, 2 migs and a good landing, will be bragged about in the pilot bar, but since there are only Norwegians there, all I’ll get is some small nods and some grunts.

With America busy in south east Asia. The soviet Union invades northern Norway, but also ignoring the Swedish and Finnish neutrality and occupies parts of those counties too.

On top of that the US carrier USS Constellation is attacked and sunk. With the surviving aircraft already in the air seeking refuge in Norway and Sweden.

 

A motley crew of Norwegian, Swedish, German, French and US aircraft have spread out in Norway, Sweden and Finland.

From Kiruna in northern Sweden a small task force will try and get air dominance and take back Banak airbase in Norway.

But to do that we need to take out two SAM batteries the Soviets have set up in the southern part of Finnmark plateau. One of SA3 and one of SA2. Both batteries covered with about a dozen AAA cannons.

The CAP is Norwegian F5s, French Mirage F1 and Luftwaffe F4s. Luckily the Soviets didn’t expect such a powerful NATO rection so fast and so only MiG21s are in the area (so far)

The strike will be made by 3 F4s with Shriek anti radiation missiles. 3 Navy F4s with dumb bombs. 3 F4s with cluster and dumb bombs(my flight) and 3 Viggen with rockets.

Spent several hours today, trying to get a good F4 gun cam look.

Finished my second video in the War in the North video campaign.
Always a challenge editing these videos.
I use a dedicated server and that makes 2 tracks, one multiplayer track in my DCS folder and 1 multiplayer track in the dedicated server folder.

The one in my dcs folder is more or less correct, mostly showing what happened.
The problem is I get all the communications and jester talk. on top of that my F4(and only mine) Shakes something extreme, think jackhammer shaking, it means it’s almost impossible to do any video of my own F4, I can show bombs and missiles, not not my own F-4

In the track in the dedicated server file, I don’t have to listen to jester or other communications and my F4 doesn't shake, however that one 95% of the time breaks. In aIr combat that usually means my F4 gets hit, half the plane goes away but it continues to fly on its path and lands at the end, with 1 half wing, no nose, no tail the AI also breaks and generally is very far from what happened. 

Anyway, after losing two SAM sites, dozens of AAA, trucks, ammo and fuel, as well as 4 MiG21s yesterday. The Soviets are bringing out the big guns. While on the back foot in the air war.

 The Soviets are still pushing the meager nordic forces back and the Soviet armor is just over a day from Kiruna. 
With the first smattering of NATO ground troops reaching Kiruna today.

To give air superiority and help their ground forces. They have brought out their newest weapons, the feared MiG-25 with the R-40 missiles. MiG-21 will add to the CAP.

To attack the Kiruna runway the new Su-24s have been brought to the front. With a flight of MiG-21s to support, with the job of taking out airfield defenses( or take AAA and SAMs in the face) 

Th US Navy F-4s have flown south west to meet up with othet NATO naval forces. But some of the Navy pilots stayed behind to man the USAF F-4s

GR3 Harriers are flying towards the front but will there be a Kiruna to land at when they reach it?

The Finns are mostly busy with their own front. But has sent a flight of 4 MiG21s to the Kiruna front. And like their fathers they are natural born Soviet killers.
