I just lost about 18m buckaroos for the US government, those NK pilots aren't pushovers. Ever since they came over the DMZ and almost made it to Seoul we stopped making jokes... This happened in Falcon 4.0 BMS.
Sequence of events-
>Intercepted North Korean IL-48's inbound to our airbase outside Seoul, two kills in my flight both by me
>Flight is vectored onto a pop up group of MiG-23's on an intercept course with us, engaged with AIM-120b's and knocked em out.
>Missile warning starts screaming in my cockpit and I notice the "21" pop up on my RWR, SOB came out of freaking nowhere right in the middle of our flight
>Missile hits and I am on fire
>Ditch aircraft and land in friendly territory, I think some R and R is in order.
So yeah Flood...this was pretty embarrassing, those NK pilots got the better of me, but honestly I am just starting to learn the F-16C. I appreciate any comments/concerns or jokes pertaining to this event.

Blame the AWACS controller for not warning you of the loitering Fishbed. You did get of countermeasures and jink, yes?
