Phantom AIM 9L. Argentina.

Post Falklands war, the RAF Phantoms used AIM9L Sidewinders. Here it is.

 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.

70s Phantom. Blurry with faded colours and a full bush.

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.

Nice but 10 out of 10 for lemmy.

A bit anachronistic. As the mission is set in 1974. And I try to keep a general 70s sound track. But for this little short. I felt I needed some proper pumping music.

The F-4E is so perfect that it took me a while to see that it was a real video and not of the HB F-4E.
