RUSSIA: the Caucasus
1958
Comrade! You are to protect the motherland.
Imperialist spy planes are violating our sacred airspace from the south. Today we shot up a PMDG DC-6 / C-118 which escaped smoking in the clouds, but parachutes have been seen.
Fly along the great divide to spot any potential American rescue planes and to locate survivors. They might try to find shelter in the huts of the Great Proletarski Ski Area on the southern flank of Mt. Elbrus (18500ft), so go x-low there (see pic).

On a sideline: for the first time DCS-pilots can see the real Caucasus: enjoy the show, MSFS is already awesome there!
