OBJECTIVE
Your objective is to deliver your weapons package to the IRAQ
INTELLIGENCE HEADQUARTERS found at waypoint 3.0  Study the spy
satellite images careful - recognition of the complex will be
difficult due to necessary low ingress altitudes - the complex
become easily indistinguishable from surrounding civilian 
structures.  Destruction of your objective is critical to limit
the Saddam's ability to mount a counter offensive against Allied
forces.  Failure to complete this critical mission can jeopardize
the safety of Americans in future combat maneuvers.  

You have the choice of ordinance - either 4 Air-to-Ground missiles
or 8 Cluster bombs.  Empirical performance data for the AG missiles
has been less than satisfactory - for optimum launch conditions,
have the target centered on your HUD, and attack from altitude to
ensure an unobstructed flight path.  Minimum distance to target will
increase the Probability of Kill (POK). Be aware that your targeting
computer may lock on to inappropriate targets (AAA guns etc.)  Break
lock by centering the HUD on another object.  Cluster bombs
may result in a more certain hit, but require careful handling
by the pilot to ensure proper release timing.  Your targeting
computer is equipped with at Continuously Compounding Impact Predictor
(CCIP) that will assist in weapons delivery.

The city of Baghdad will be heavily defended by AAA defense, but
your fellow pilots shall have rendered the central fire direction
system inoperative.  AAA gunnery will thereby be controlled by
visual estimation only, affording you a margin of comfort.  Iraqi
SAM launchers and installations are still operative, but your stealth
equipped aircraft should have little difficulty evading their radar.
Maintain an altitude less than 1000' ASL to ensure stealth.


NAVIGATION

Your flight computer is programmed with waypoints 2.0 through 5.0
Cycle through waypoints with the '/' key.  The ADF needle will point
towards the selected waypoint.

Your F117 is equipped with Distance Measuring Equipment (DME) - two
fixed points have been programmed into your Nav computer.  Toggle
between DME points with the ';' key.

Distance to:
Target  - 113.00
FBO     - 115.00

An Instrument Landing System (ILS) is equipped on runway 00L upon
return to your FBO in Saudi Arabia.

ILS Frequency - 108.00



GOOD HUNTING!
