MISSION 05: RENDEZVOUS
Operation: Whale Bird


MISSION NAME:: WHALE BIRD
DATE: 2010/09/30
TIME: 0930HRS
AREA: EAGLIN STRAITS
LOCATION: 1611'36"N 16708'56"E

Briefing:
Attention. Listen up. The biggest mistake Yuktobania has made in their blitz attack is that they failed to sink any of our aircraft carriers. We'll evacuate all intact carriers to our inland sea and use them as a base fleet to build our counter-strike force. You've been called to service on a very important operation, people. Keep that in mind out there.

Today at 1500 hours, three carriers from the Third Osean Naval Fleet will rendezvous at Eaglin Straits. These carriers are the Vulture, Buzzard and, the Kestrel, which has successfully escaped from Port St. Hewlett thanks to your help.
Your mission is to coordinate with the Kestrel and provide top cover for all carriers during the rendezvous. Should you encounter enemy attack, defend the three carriers at all costs. The situation is fluid, so be sure to choose an aircraft with good defensive capability against both air and ground-based threats.
