When you are running an RF-8 over a target area, hit F2 and check the cloud deck. If he's going in above it he won't see a thing. Recon missions I almost always micromanage, using the F3 button to lay out his course, and then setting altitudes and speeds at each waypoint. If he's going into a threat area I send him through on burner and have a standoff tanker waiting when he's done. Even with some fighter and SEAD support they still get smoked better than half the time anyway, it seems like. Tough job.
