F-84e 003 - Bridge Busting " Your flight of four Thunderjets is tasked with bombing an important bridge on a major North Korean supply route. As you perform your pre-flight checks, you'll see four B-26c Invaders taking off over the parallel runway and heading North. These are just for atmosphere. Your formation flies low at 5000' along the coast to the West, then turns North to the initial point at Waypoint 2. Here, you turn 90 degrees East and head for the bridge just inland from the coastline. You'll see a large building on the South side of the estuary which will confirm your position. This is not a target. As you approach the bridge, you'll come under fire from a gunboat, and having passed over the bridge, you will come under fire from a second gunboat. Your wingmen may have difficulty duelling with the gunboats, so you should pull slightly ahead of the formation and use your rockets to neutralise the threat. Your wingmen should handle the bridge quite nicely on their own, but if any of the centre spans (the important ones are labelled) are still standing, you can take them out yourself, with either bombs or rockets. Once the bridge is down, you continue Eastwards, where some time after passing waypoint 3 you run into four MiG-15s. It's a pretty even fight, and you should find it fairly easy to get on their tails and hang there, since their flying speeds are similar to yours. They won't be as tricky as the Yak-9s. Once the four MiGs are despatched, you may complete your waypoint path and land. If you intend to land, note that your last waypoint is 4: "Contact Tower". On reaching this point, you may be advised to call up your ADF (Shift+5), and tune in Kimpo: 93 - this will aid you to get the correct line-up for the runway. The strip runs 143 degrees/323 degrees, and you may land from either end. Once you have successfully landed and set your park brake, you must then press X to end the mission. Alternatively, you may wish to press X repeatedly in order to warp through the waypoints and end the mission without landing. "
