29 August, 2025 - Friday Pick-Up Mission: Operation Desert Fang

[BammBamm]

4 Black Aces of VFA-41 launched in a single flight tasked with destruction of stationary operational air assets at Mezzeh Military Airport before they could be relocated or commandeered by hostile groups.

Dealer 1 launched from Prince Hassan Airfield, formed up and headed directly to Waypoint 2. At approximately 70 miles from Waypoint 2, Dealer 1-2 had severe mechanical issues and was forced to RTB (CTD). Upon reaching 30 miles from Waypoint 2, Dealer 1 started acquiring targets at Waypoint 3 before turning into the AO.

Dealer 1 successfully destroyed 24 aircraft in hardened hangers and out in the open as well as multiple military helicopters.

All remaining Dealer 1 aircraft then returned to Mother for a Case 1 recovery. Complete mission success.

Dealer 1:
1-1 BammBamm, 7x ground targets destroyed, trapped
1-2 NoPro, CTD
1-3 Maniac, 5x ground targets destroyed, trapped
1-4 Crash, 6x ground targets destroyed, trapped
