Описание: RAF Holbeach Air Weapons Range, a place to bring your aircraft to blow up and shoot stuff. Two USAF F-15E Strike Eagles of the 494th Fighter Squadron based at RAF Lakenheath enter the range armed with 1,000 rounds of 20mm in their M61 Vulcan canon.

M61 Vulcan
A hydraulically, electrically, or pneumatically driven, six-barrel, air-cooled, electrically fired Gatling-style rotary cannon which fires 20 mm × 102 mm (0.787 in × 4.016 in) rounds at an extremely high rate of 6,000 rounds per minute. The M61 and its derivatives have been the principal cannon armament of US military fixed-wing aircraft for over sixty years. The 555th have downed many MiGs in the 60s with this in their F-4.

JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller)
A JTAC is a military specialist who directs the actions of combat aircraft in CAS (close air support) and other offensive operations from a forward position. CAS is life saving and support the troops on the ground by sending an aerial strike by giving coordinates to attack aircraft, assets, vehicles, tanks and accurate fire power from air support for ground forces. JTACs also minimise friendly fire to friendly units and civilians.
