RE: Aerilon CAP Mission 62
INCIDENT SUMMARY
Nothing much happened during the CAP. We were RTB to the flattop when Aerilon Air Actual reported bogies and sent us to check it out. Bogies turned out to be flight of four Viper, two Predator. No response to wireless calls. The vipers engaged us while the preds started an attack run on a supply depot.
Alert 5 Viper was launched from the flattop and joined the fight. Punchdrunk shot down one viper and we shot up all the rest of their ships pretty bad. The preds made their bomb runs and the enemy flight disengaged. We were too low on fuel to chase them. We lost Cherry's Raptor shot down, but she and Trap ejected and were both picked up by Butch in the SAR bus.
