This can be either done by throwing a marking flare which you can get from equipment vendors in the armory or by using a laser designator, available to most combat roles. A pilot can then select the mark and open fire on it. You will also need a JTAC (Joint Terminal Attack Controller) key which can buy for points to give the clear for the attack and to receive intel on the status of the Air support teams.
