Timeline: 1980s
Location: Somewhere in the Free World.
Airforce One is on to way to visit a friendly nation along with a fighter escort,
due to possible attacks (based on reports from intelligence sources) from third world
rogue state in the area.
The visit is to pledge support to this nation in their struggle against its neighbours
who lay claim to their resources and territory. More cynical members of the press have
suggested that the pledge may have something to do with the countries large mineral
resources which has whipped US multinationals into a bidding frenzy.
However, President Jack Ryan is determined to complete his visit and shown the world
that "he ain't scared of those punks" and that he "intends to help spread freedom and
democracy through the known universe and then some!"
US briefing
Your squadron has been designated as the escort for the President's Airforce One plane.
There have been reports of unknown bogeys in the area so you must be on alert and protect
Airforce One at all costs. Failure would be unthinkable as your wife, children and even the
pets, would disown you.

Rogue State briefing
This is your nations best chance to strike against the president of the US and stop him
from supporting your enemy's government. It would be a great victory against the US if this
figurehead is killed, and our country would be held in high esteem in various parts of the
world.
Your squadron has been chosen to carry out this important task. This is probably because
the son of our esteemed leader is a pilot in your squadron, but unfortunately a poor pilot.
As most of the nations wealth sits in Swiss bank accounts, you will have to make do with some
rather elderly equipment.
