VFA-41 Black Aces were tasked with a strike mission at Iranian Airbase at Tunb Island, Northwest of Dubai. Primary targets were ammunition depots and supply warehouses, while secondary targets are any military aircraft and vehicles located at the airbase. Four hornet pilots were tasked with this strike mission.
The strike package was assisted by UAE SEAD and Cap flights, made up of F-16's and M-2000c's.
Strike waited for UAE cap to ingress first and clear the way, and then successfully conducted the strike on the primary and secondary targets. A Primary target survived, but plenty others were hit, including the second Primary target.
Miller time was called and the strike package left the area before any hostile aircraft approached the AO. All aircraft then successfully recovered at mother after a case I recovery.
Strike Package:
1) Ticman - Secondary Targets hit
2) Rhino - Primary and Secondary Targets hit
3) Mr. Bean - Secondary Targets hit
4) Lion - Secondary targets hit
Mission was a success!
