In this mission, we use ground power from the carrier to get pre flight preparations under way while waiting for tasking. Once we are ordered to scramble we initiate engine startup procedures for a Case 3 departure. The mission is bugged from what I can tell....so, don't follow your flight lead but instead fly heading 035 degrees until you come across two groups of bandits (Tu-22 bombers) that are about to attack the fleet. Go after the one on the left (west). Scratch the bandits and return to formation for a very windy and difficult Case III Recovery.
