Gnat(?) on Alpha NE/5K/500. You(?) at 3miles WSW Alpha (SSW/7K/900). No contact with Mig. Please report locations of both planes whenever you can see them! Lots of ammo.

"I've got a tally on you. Gnat is over Alpha, spd 500, alt 5, facing NE. MiG is 5 miles SSE of Alpha, spd 700, alt 12, facing NE. Suggest we set up a pincer on the MiG, then coordinate when he breaks."

Gnat-2 where are you? My only contact is a 104 2.7 NNE of hill 101 at 12/700 heading South. I am NW of hill 101 heading NE. Should we try to disengage? Gnat-1

F-104 2 miles S town-charlie SSW at 7/900 left bank steep dive. I am 3 miles SSE town-delta heading NE at 12/700. Coming NNE to cover your 6:00. Zinger.

Only have contact with gnat - 2/3 mile NE of Alpha (8K/600/NE). How's your ammo? I'm at 2 miles E of Alpha (9K/850/S). I assume mig is somewhere in front of me...

21: we are probably alone. See Operation Feather Duster for our predicament. We should try to disengage east, but I don't have weapons. I'm 1 mile N of 101.

No contacts. Last saw gnat 2 1/3 miles NE of Alpha (NE/7/600). I'm at 3mi SSE of Alpha (S/14/850). Extending S (in SC) unless you can tell me where MIG is.

MiG is 1/3 mile in your Six, angels 12, 800, E. He might be trying to disengage. Gnat is not a factor. Suggest you maintain speed and break left 90 deg. I've got you covered if the MiG turns in.

I will turn east to try to see your 6 better. If you don't want me to run, tell me. Check 6 for the other 104. Maybe their fuel is low. Do they have missiles?

Contact Mig and you. Designate dam as point Beta. Mig 1 1/3 mile NW/NNW of Beta 12/800/NE. I'm gonna turn 30L and then go straight - hope he gives you a target.

MiG is 3 mi. at your 10:30, hdg NE, spd 750, alt 12. Looks like he's disengaging. Suggest you make max speed NE to attempt AIM-9 attack on MiG. Depending on your success, I'll go for Gnat or MiG.

21: 104 1.7 mi SSW of Town Golf at 10/900 E. Where and how fast are the missiles and the launch a/c? Is launch a/c a Sabre? Which way should I break? Reply.

Watch for F-104 overtaking us at 1 1/3 mile NW of town-golf. It is heading NE 6/900. I am losing sight of the high F-104 - you still see him? Damn Starfighters are fast!

F-104#2 attempts IRM launch: both 'winders fail, remain on rail.

Looks like you'll have a sweet Fox 2 on the MiG; be careful to watch your missile FOV vertical limits. I'll try to drop the Gnat.

Both 'winders failed. Will try again if he goes on burner. Have contact on Gnat - he is out of range for me.

I've lost sight of the F-104 west of us. There are likely Aim-9C on both F-104. I have not seen Sabres for a long time now. F-104 coming fast over the dam at 10/900 NNE. Looks like the 104s are bracketing me. Your best bet likely to skim the tree tops heading home fast. Good Luck! Zinger out.
[GM. A wee bit long! But since you missed last radio, and I'm in a good mood :-)]

MiG: 104 is directly over the dam heading NNE at 10K & 900. Do you spot missiles or the other 104? Did the north 104 shoot 2 missiles?

Notes:

F-104#1 attempts IRM launch: two AIM-9B launch OK.
