F-2 MISSIONS
SPEARHEAD
Take off from Misawa as a pair, put JDAMs on mock bunkers at the Amagamori range at the assigned time, and land back at Misawa to a full stop.
AT A GLANCE

- Targets
- Two mock bunkers (they don't shoot back)
- Weapons
- JDAM (four from the two-ship)
- TOT
- 12:05:00
- Altitude
- 500 m after takeoff, then 750 m (±250 m)
- It ends
- Landed at Misawa, full stop
It is flown from Misawa Air Base to the Amagamori range just north of it — a precision-bombing exercise against the clock.
The mission
The targets are two mock bunkers that don’t shoot back. The two-ship puts four JDAMs on them, timed to TOT 12:05:00.
On SINKEX you fired and went home. On SPEARHEAD the mission is not over until you have landed and stopped. Take off, fly a set route on a set schedule, release, come back and land — everything so far, joined into one flight.
How it flows
- Take off as a pair from Misawa RWY 28.
- Swing north at the foothills of Hakkoda, then turn back east.
- Master arm on 5 seconds before the target area.
- Release the JDAMs over Lake Ogawara. Your number two releases when you release.
- After release, continue out to sea and reverse, then land at Misawa and come to a full stop.
What it asks of you
The altitude and the times are set
Altitude is 500 m after takeoff, then 750 m. Each route gate has to be passed at its scheduled time.
Stray more than ±250 m from the assigned altitude and you are out on the spot. The same goes for missing a gate's scheduled time.
How it is scored
You are scored on how far your impacts are from TOT 12:05:00. After the bombs land, you still have the landing and the full stop to fly. It isn’t over until the jet has stopped.
