In this mission we travel 1250 miles to our target, rearm refuel at a nearby base, strike the target, and return 1250 miles. The situation is that Iran is looking for a capable long strike airframe and this is a competition to see which airframe is best suited to strike fast and return. It's a long mission, that took almost 5 hours, but it's been condensed down to approximately 27 minutes.
In this video I fly the F/A-18C Hornet with three other wingmen. Other teams took other aircraft.
