[Gojira]

"That should be good."

"I might change my preference, I kind of like this level bombing thing."

[Vegetarian Zombie]

You'll need bombing because this is our next mission. Watch to 0:39.

"Roger that, any chance I could get a TU-160 for my crew?"

[Gojira]

"Holy stuff! Get the forget out of here!"

[HelplessNobb88]

I was patrolling around the airbase when I see the strangest sight ever. "This is Phoenix 5, I have spotted a Farmer at 2 o' clock. Repeat, I have spotted a MiG - 19. I am engaging." I pull behind the old aircraft, ready to fire a Sidewinder. "Fox tw-" suddenly two MiG - 31s come screaming down from my 6 o' clock, tearing into my Tiger with their cannons. "Mayday! Mayday! This is Phoenix 5, my  aircraft is out of control and on fire! Ejecting!" I hit the eject button, shooting out of my tumbling fighter. I watch it spin several more times, flames billowing from the engines, then hit the  ground.

"God damnit... " I mutter. "I hope S and R come soon." I then notice the pain in my left leg, and look down to see the bone poking out from below the knee. "stuff!"

[Gojira]

"Phoenix Five is DOWN! REPEAT, PHOENIX FIVE IS DOWN! Come on, come on, WHY WON'T MY DAMN ENGINES START UP! I NEED TO GET OUT OF HE-" I'm cut off when my plane is hit by a missile while it's on the ground.
"Shi, come on! SHI! To hell with it!"
I drag Gamma 37 out of his burning wreck of a plane.
"Come on, come on! MEDIC!"

What just happened?

[Gojira]

Watch the video to understand. The airbase is under attack.

[HelplessNobb88]

Watch the video to understand. The airbase is under attack.

which video?

[Vegetarian Zombie]

Don't we attack them, though?

[Gojira]

Uh
The video BEFORE the ninja showed OUR airbase under attack. Let's use that instead, as an alternate course for history.

[Vegetarian Zombie]

Meh.

[HelplessNobb88]

Im still in god-knows-where with a compound leg fracture...

[Vegetarian Zombie]

"Get these birds in the air! Scramble! Scramble!" I yell. I take to the skies in seconds. "MiG-31's, dammit!"
