After the operations in Georgia and securing the air space there allowing the USAF and Army to have control VFA-41 Black Aces have been assigned to patrol the Persian Gulf in a continuing effort to secure air space and force the Russians to give up their grasp on helpless civilians. This will be a joint effort with the Black Aces working along side with the USAF and other countries such Australia, Belgium, Canada, Italy, Germany, and many many more.
Black Aces, today's flight will be to get yourself familiar with the terrain and certain key locations to keep in mind for future sorties. Over this 300 mile flight you will be flying over US/Allied controlled areas along with areas that remain neutral due to high civilian activity.
The key point of interest is Khasab due to the fact that it is the closest to the Russian Operations North of it. Right now the Russians have control of various civilian airports; such as: Shiraz Int'l, Kerman, Bandar Abbas Int'l, and are denying flights to and from those airports. Our goal is to work along side other countries in an effort to release the hold on these civilians.
