I just finished this mission. First I beat the game and the mission on arcade. Just played on realistic and it is much easier since you do not, repeat do not have to shoot down all the JUs yourself. Start the mission on realistic and unlimited retries and ammunition. As soon as you see a yellow triangle on the radar, begin d-pad down right or d-pad right and right again (which I find easier). You will do this the entire mission. Fly toward the nearest target and start shooting while using the d-pad all the time. The AI wingmen do better on realistic for some reason. Keep after the closest one until gone then go to the next. After the transports are gone, 5 or 6 waves of 1 to 3 each, you are told to destroy the airfield. Again use d-pad (I used left, left for cover me) blow up 2 targets (yellow) and the mission is completed. Much easier than arcade and only took about one attempt and one respawn.
