The 466 TFS from Hill AFB, Utah, Air Force Reserve marked up a few of their planes in alternate camouflage schemes. This is Euro 1. The plane is armed with six M-117 750 lb. iron bombs, two 450 gallon drop tanks and two AN/ALQ-101 ECM pods. The campaign date is September 18, 1979; a bit early for the Euro 1 camo and far too early for the 466th to be using it (they painted one plane in 1983; 62-301 'My Karma') but not too early for them to have the planes.
My scenario is they were on their way back from training in Germany when the war went hot and are helping to defend Iceland from a Soviet Invasion.
It's actually not that bad a plane for this campaign. There's not much SAM with the ground forces so its lack of countermeasures doesn't hurt so bad as it would over Germany and it has the range and speed to get in and out of most of the target areas. It's not a dogfighter, but a Thunderchief egresses at the speed of heat.
