"I'll take the Tiger also, but I might want to pack an SMG, planning on getting shot today..."

I try to speak, "How do you do? My name is Lenta, I escorted you in."


"my names Toby. I'm doing fine, dislocated a toe somehow but I wrecked my plane. Thanks for getting those guys off my arse, I was in no fighting condition. Stinks they won't let me fly today."


"While on the last mission there were mostly air targets, this time almost all of your targets will be on the ground. Missiles can take out ground targets, but we need a bomber. Maybe you could be escort fighters for this mission." Said AWACS. "If we do this right, Rigley won't see us until it's too late."

"Tigers and Strike Eagles are ready for you to meet them. Take off in one hour."

I'm hanging out at the ISAF base, waiting for an assignment. I finally recieve one:

I'm supposed to attack Rigley Air Base. I will have some teammates along for the ride, and I decide to take a F-15E Strike Eagle. I also take a small Beretta M9 along in case I get shot down. I'll be making the first strafing run of the base, them I have to try to take out any antiair forces I see.

"Watch for AA Guns. Fighters, I expect you to take them out. All multiroles and bombers are charged with destroying any enemy ground targets you see. Planes on the ground, buildings, everything. Fighter pilots, again, you are on AA Gun duty. If there are enemy planes, consider yourselves cleared to engage."

I nodded at the captain again, then said, "I'll be taking a Tiger II."

"Alright, go ready your aircraft. All planes have missiles, machineguns, and bombs standard. Larges planes have larger bombs, so the Tu-95 is going to have the largest payload...
Get to it!" I saluted. "Yes, sir!"

I dashed over to my plane and hopped inside.
"Napper 13 ready for action!"

I nodded again and climbed into the Tiger. "Radio check, Blaze one, Bullet 1, Pheonix 5, Chimera 2, Napper 13, you all read?"


I nodded again and climbed into the Tiger. "Radio check, Blaze one, Bullet 1, Pheonix 5, Chimera 2, Napper 13, you all read?"

"I read you, Chimera 2 ready."


"Umm... I'm thinking of a number between 1 and 100..." I joked.

"This seems like a more tactical mission, so I'm taking lead point. If it's alright with you guys."
