direction while flying in another.
3 Radar Evasion
The goal of this mission is simply to fly from the first
to the third waypoint without allowing the search
radars to track you.
Although it is possible to move the waypoints and
avoid the radars altogether, or to jam every radar
encountered, the idea is to learn how to evade radars
when necessary.
The mission begins in the same way as Mission 1
above with the standard takeoff and identification
procedures. After identification is made, try these
techniques:
o Determine the effects of altitude on detection.
Remember, the EB-52 can "see" a search radar long
before being seen, or tracked, itself.
o Attempt to thread the aircraft flight path through
the radars, skimming the ranges at which it is likely to
be detected.
o When evasion fails, jam the search radar signal
from the EW station.
These skills are required for successful completion of
any mission. Remember: The name of the game is
EVASION.
o During inflight refueling, use the external camera
to observe the rendezvous. Use the TARGET view to
watch from the tanker aircraft's point of view.
5 1 MiG Evasion
Evading a MiG requires different tactics from those
employed in shooting one down. Because MiGs are
usually directed, or vectored to locations by Ground
Control Intercept (GCI) facilities (enemy radar
stations), the best way to evade them is to evade
enemy radars. In this mission, the goal is to lose a
MiG that has been vectored to the EB-52's location.
The difficult part of the task is knowing when the
MiG is out there. Since. like the EB-52, they
generally fly with their passive radars running so as to
avoid announcing their presence, it is necessary to
turn the ATTACK active radar at the OW station on
for brief periods to try to "paint" any enemy fighter
that might be nearby. To lose an enemy fighter there
