I'm a bit stuck on the fourth scenario of F/A-18 (the "retrieve the stolen
F16s" one).  I'd appreciate a bit of advice on what you're _really_ supposed
to be doing.  Here's my reading (stripping away the "story line") on that
scenario: catch up with the convoy.  Coerce the Migs to shoot at you.  Once one
of 'em shoots at you, shoot booth the migs down.  Then go and catch up with the
F16s and lead them back to Moffett.  My problem: I can do everything up to the
last part.  *HOW* do you get the F16s to follow you?  [and I have a couple of
other similar questions: what happens if you shoot-first and just nail the
MiGs?  Assuming this will result in an "unuccessful mission", is there some way
to get their attention sooner rather than later?  [some pointers avoiding
incoming missiles would be nice, too... generally I can do OK, but I'm not sure
quite why or how: I don't really have a plan for evading missles].

Also (pushing my luck) a real what-you're-supposed-to-do rundown of the last
two scenarios (which I haven't seen anything of yet, of course), would be nice.
Thanks!
