Special Mission
Posted: 24 Dec 2008, 10:09
With the calendar such as it is and a bit too much eggnogg already, my nephew and I were joking around about making a special mission for tonight.
Well, before we wasted too much of our own time, we took a look at the big ole avsim site and found that there're 2 files which could be turned into special missions with little to no work on our/your parts.

So, here's a declassified version of the warning/operations order.
DTG 24DEC08 O000Z
Global Situation: The world sucketh in terms of weather, aerial terrorism and ground based SAM threats to aviation vehicles worldwide.
Opfor Situation: Indiscriminate sales of man-packed, wheeled- and tracked-vehicle SAM systems over the past 50 years have placed such systems well within the financial purview of even private individuals for their private yachts. Many of these systems are manned and/or used by untrained amateurs with no organizational control above them and no means of "proper" IFF. Recent open source intelligence reports that even "modern day pirates" have boasted of such ownership ---- while the number of AK-47/assault-type rifles is in the multi-millions and totally uncontrolled.
Friendly Situation: Chillens everywhere have provided hundreds of millions of fuel stops for "a fat man in a red suit" who is occasionally rumored to conduct B & E's throughout the world 1 night a year. This figure ***name redacted due to security classification*** has requested assistance for this year's mission.
Tasking: You are to provide 1 supersonic, fully-armed fighter aircraft, aerial refueling vehicle and/or aerial cargo transport to assist the "fat man" on his mission on 24/25DEC08.
A. If you provide a fighter, the rules of engagement are "fully armed, full auto, weapons released" as soon as communications or visual contact is made with "fat man". Escort/clear a path for the "fat man" to/from as many destinations as your fuel/time allows. Recover to home field upon completion. Aerial refueling arrangments can be coordinated with "fat man" enroute via secure comms, channel Red1. Flight route, rendevous coords and comms authentication for ATC/international controllers are contained in pre-flight briefing packet at the departure airfield.
B. If you provide an aerial refueling vehicle, ensure fuel tanks are fully loaded with Special Mixture 1 ***composition redacted due to security classification*** 2 hours prior to departure from homebase. Embark special aerial refueling technician ****codename Elf13*** for this mission; he will meet the plane on the tarmac at the aircraft itself. Set up aerial refueling track/pattern Sleigh69 at coords ***FL and coords redacted - see classified operations order for actual coordinates*** and await rendevous/secure communications contact by "fat man". Elf13 is in operation control of the refueling aircraft upon visual/communications contact until refueling completion. RTB upon mission completion.
C. If you provide cargo transport, embark special misson crewmember, codenamed Fingers96, at cargo door of aircraft 30 minutes prior to departure. Fingers96 has authorization to bar entire non-cargo-related flight crew from cargo area of aircraft from time of embarkation until engie power down upon RTB. Flight crew will not attempt to investigate cargo. Flight route will be determined/controlled via secure comms with "fat man" from time of rendevous until cargo aircraft rleased by "fat man". Special comments: Pilot and engineer may notice the appearance of varying flight dynamics in the cargo aircraft while enroute, as if the cargo weight and aircraft c-o-g appear to change while in-flight. Be aware that such is the nature of the mission cargo and is to be considered "normal". Do not report/mention "weird animal sounds coming from cargo bay while enroute" in post-mission debriefing - doing so will result in extended and indefinite-length assignment to Ward 8 of military hospital Guantanamo Bay.
Special considerations/orders - all versions. Be prepared to conduct emergency FOD avoidance manuevers on short notice in air enroute. Brown substances, yellow "hail/rain" and "something similar to 'bile' have been reported on previous missions. Flight will be conducted under combat/lights-out conditions from 1st ATC handoff through request for landing instructions.
Authorization: FantasyWhiskey-13
Execute Order: HaveABeer
