A piston engined israeli plane has been spotted in the vicinity of Rayak air base in the Bekaa Valley. We suspect the bandit is going to overfly the base and take photographs of the undergoing runway extension work to accomodate modern MiGs and help our Arab lebanese brothers protect themselves from the Zionist aggression*.
You’re a Syrian Arab Air Force (SyAAF) pilot on an early morning QRA watch from Al Dumayr air base. You are to take off immediately and head for the Bekaa Valley.
