Our daylight attack at Ar Rumaylah is a loft (toss) attack
Approach 30ft/600mph 'ish, sharp pull up, bombs release to arc onto tgt, roll & overbank to 135 degrees, pull hard, descend & run away bravely in opposite direction avoiding tgt overflight. Simples?

My cock-up & bombs don't release; now near inverted with 8x1000lb'ers on underside, effectively 'on top' of us; JP does fab job of controlling jet
Run away bravely
Few mins later hit by SAM
Nearly crash; another fab job by JP
Hit by AAA
Engine/airframe on fire

Fly for a minute or so trying to get towards border
Getting a tad warm & flames coming along the spine to my seat, & through right hand wing which looks about to come off
Eject!
JP/JN war is over
Our colleagues continue the fight far more successfully!
