Red Sea Alert Tour of Duty
This is a 5 missions TOD based on a hypothetical civil war in the
West of Saudi Arabia during the Iran campaign. Ultra Islamic rebels supported by Sudan and
the terrorist Ben Ladden try to take the power.
Created by Frej Leclercq
Pirates
Intercept pirate ships threatening commercial traffic in the Red
Sea.
Traffic jam
Intercept a truck convoy heading to a rebels base near Jeddah.
Humiliation
Your base is surrounded by the rebels; you have to clear out
before it's too late.
Revenge
Lead a retaliation strike against Sudan after the attack of your
base.
Final Hit
You have the opportunity to eliminate Ben Ladden and the rebels
leaders in their hidden base in Arabia.
Get Saddam
Saddam has had enough of War and is now on his way out of the
country. Stop Him!!! Do not let him get away. Better Watch it though. Even with all the
support you have it may not be enough to bring down what is left of Saddam's AF. To get
through to him.
Drive In
A short A/A mission which includes the "Drive In" Easter
Egg. Your task is to stop the incoming air threat from damaging the air base and Drive In.
This is my first mission, it is short but for everyone that has heard about the Drive In
but hasn't found it they may want to try it out. Have fun. This mission was created by Joe
"Torx" D.
First Night
Tonight, Desert Shield turns into Desert Storm. Elements of the
4th Tactical Fighter Wing, the 335th TFS Chiefs and the 336th TFS Rockets, will
participate in a "gorilla package" attack on designated targets deep inside of
Iraq. This mission depicts Chevy flight's attack on fixed SCUD locations on the first
night of the war. After months of planning, the process of ejecting Saddam Hussein and
liberating Kuwait has begun in earnest.
This mission was taken from the actual events during the night of January 17, 1991. The
book "Strike Eagle - Flying the F-15E in the Gulf War" by William L. Smallwood
played a big part in defining this mission. For purposes of reality, all flight times,
objects, and targets are to scale based on actual mission parameters. I hope you brought
your seat cushion.
Change of Plans
You are performing an uneventful escort of an E-3 AWACS. However,
when all is said and done the day will be anything but routine. And what will those orders
be? Don't know...the day has yet to unfold.
The Tsunami Series
The Tsunami series of F-15 adventures is set in the year 2005. Iran and Iraq have
formed a coalition aided and abetted by certain other powers intent upon taking advantage
of the post cold-war peace. They hope to do this through development and proliferation of
unconventional, hi-tech weaponry and mutually beneficial alliances.
Countries opposed to this de-stabilising scheme include The U.S., Britain Russia and
some minor nations who feel threatened by the coalition. They have formed a semi-secret,
unofficial organisation for The Suppression of Unconventional and Advanced Military
Initiatives (TSUNAMI). Using donated equipment and/or material designated for other
purposes and sometimes operating our of secret bases, they disrupt and frustrate the
coalition's efforts, making these both costly and risky.
Tsunami missions attempt to create an atmosphere of excitement and challenge. For
example, bases inside enemy territory may be used although it is debatable whether this is
very realistic. It's a lot more fun than always taking off from the airfields in Saudi,
however.

Gauntlet
The first in the TSUNAMI series (version 2: accommodates the F-15 patch). A long and
complex mission in the geopolitical environment of 2005 AD. Expect lots of low level
flying, enemy "scrambles", cat-and-mouse chases through mountain valleys, and
tricky target approaches. A surprise visit by your Russian allies is a possibility.
Longish briefing sets the stage. Skip to the mission details if you just want to get on
with it. Avoid altogether if you prefer short missions: this one takes about 45 minutes.
Prepared by Garth Klatt/Capt. "Max" Headroom.
The French Connection
Second TSUNAMI Mission - "The French Connection": France has been
clandestinely supplying the Iran/Iraq axis with parts from their Ariane rocket program.
Your assignment is to intercept a C-130 transport carrying a shipment of these components.
Plenty of air-to-air action for your 3-ship flight plus the frustration of trying to find
a moving target whose route you don't know for certain. Mountain flying, great scenery and
knife-fights and ambush all the way. Moderate length mission. Prepared by Garth
Klatt/Capt. "Max" Headroom
Thunderbolt
Third TSUNAMI Mission: "Thunderbolt" is flown out of the secret
"Isengard" base inside Iran. Features a white-knuckle takeoff at 10,000 feet and
some of the best scenery yet discovered. Mission comprises strike against a convoy headed
for the unconventional weapons test range Southwest of Tehran. Intense A2A likely to
develop as defenders scramble in reaction to your surprise appearance. Fast paced, fairly
short mission. Prepared by Garth Klatt/Capt. "Max" Headroom.
Stagecoach
Fourth TSUNAMI Mission - "Stagecoach". Updated 17 July 1998 to accommodate
effects of the Jane's patch. Following tricky takeoff at 10k ft., escort the Budweiser
"Stagecoach" delivering an unwelcome package to the Iran/Iraq nuclear weapons
test range. High-altitude dogfights and dramatic visuals in early evening light. Pull in
behind the B52's prior to first waypoint and watch a beautiful aerial ballet as the
secondary "Comet" escort merges with your flight. Prepared by Garth Klatt/Capt.
"Max" Headroom.
Turkish Delight
TSUNAMI Mission: "Turkish Delight" (version 2). A long, complex mission
involving two strikes inside Iraq. The primary is co-coordinated with a group of F117s.
Mission involves an unusual refueling scenario plus an attempt by the Iraqi Defense
Minister, Suliman Ish-Kabbibul, to flee the scene of one of his crimes by Winnebago and
executive jet. Several A2A engagements likely en-route. Moderately difficult with lots of
variety. Version 2 adds a debrief and improves "Bug Farm" action. Prepared by
Garth Klatt/Capt. "Max" Headroom.
Pants Down
A short, violent mission in the TSUNAMI series with absolutely no ingress delay
whatsoever. The Isengard base has come under surprise attack from IRANQCO, by air and
ground. Difficult, fast paced mission placing high demands on your "situational
awareness". And you have definitely got a "situation" here! Prepared by G.
Klatt/Capt. "Max" Headroom.
By Dawns Early Light
This is a nuke bomber intercept with secondary CAS for an observer group. The action
evolves with numerous exciting A2A encounters from 35K to down in the weeds. If you still
have problems working your wingmen or taking full advantage of F-15 avionics, avoid this
mission. Fuel and time management are critical. There is possibility of nuclear explosion
sound effects if you install the included WAV file. Self-extracting file. Prepared by
Capt. "Max" Headroom."
