AFTER BRIEFING WE TOOK OFF AROUND 20:00:00 HRS CST, GAME TIME 17:57:00, SHORTLY AFTER TAKE OFF UNFORTUNATELY LURCH HAD A TECHNICAL ISSUE WITH HIS CONNECTION, THE SIM PAUSED AND HE WAS UNABLE TO REJOIN THE FLIGHT. SHOWBOAT AND I CONTINUED OUR RUN INTO THE TARGET, FLYING N.O.E. (NAP OF THE EARTH). THE SEAD PACKAGE WAS UNABLE TO TAKE OUT THE MAIN THREAT (SA-17), BUT WAS ABLE TO DISPATCH 3 MIG-23s AND THE SA-2. FURY2 (SHOWBOAT AND I) SKIRTED THE SA-17s THREAT CIRCLE TO PRESS THE ATTACK, WHILE MANUVERING AROUND THE SA-17 WE WERE FLYING TFR VLC (100 ft AGL) SOMEHOW DURING THIS COURSE CHANGE, SHOWBOAT CRASHED INTO THE GROUND. LASER CONTIUNED TO PRESS WITH AI, RAN IN ON THE LEFT BASE AND DROPPED MY TWO GBU-32 "PENETRATORs". THE AI WOULD NOT DROP ON THE TARGET.

RTB WAS UNEVENTFUL, N.O.E. ON THE EGRESS OUT OF INDIAN COUNTRY, THEN CLIMBED TO 20,000 ft FOR THE REST OF THE TRIP BACK TO RAMON AIR BASE.
DEBRIEFING SHOWED WE MANAGED TO HITS BUT NOTHING DESTROYED SO THE TE REPORTED THE MISSION AS A FAILURE. (NOTE: IN ITO, THE BLU-107 DURANDALL IS NOT AN OPTION SO WE USE THE GBU-32 JDAM. THE "TAC REF" DESCRIBES THE GBU-32 AS "PENETRATOR" SO THAT IS WHAT WE USED. THE OUTCOME MAY HAVE BEEN DIFFERENT IF WE HAD THE BLU-107s)
