Scattered Eagle Leg 7

Leg 7 — LTBS → LTFE Dalaman, Türkiye → Milas–Bodrum, Türkiye

An escalating rescue operation searching remote valleys and coastline sectors for additional survivors under growing hostile pressure.

The Hunt Begins

By now the operation had become openly contested.

Unidentified aircraft appeared intermittently near search sectors. Ground teams reported hostile patrols approaching several crash sites before rescue crews could arrive.

The survivors were being hunted.

Flying north along Türkiye’s rugged southwest coast, you coordinated continuously with helicopters and naval units while scanning valleys hidden beneath dense morning fog.

Then another discovery changed everything.

A crash site.

Mostly intact.

Fresh footprints surrounding the wreckage.

And signs of recent gunfire.

Whoever escaped the aircraft had not been alone for long.

Search teams tracked movement inland while your aircraft orbited overhead watching the mountain passes below.

Hours later, rescue crews emerged from the forest carrying two surviving pilots.

One conscious.

One critically wounded.

Both terrified.

Because according to their account… hostile forces already knew the rescue routes.
