"Hey, the thing is faster than anything I've flown, excluding the T-28s in flight school." I say, unhooking my oxygen mask, "Let's R-T-B, I'm bingo fuel."

PHOENIX 1-1 "Thunder"

[Comatose]

After being fully fueled, the crew chief calls me over.

"She's all good. Be sure to get clearance from the tower."

I nod, and thank him before climbing into the roosterpit.

The canopy comes down with a mechanical hiss as my controls begin to turn on. I put on my helmet, pulled down my visor and microphone, and put on my oxygen mask.

"Phoenix 1-2, requesting takeoff for target practice."
"Roger, 1-2, permission granted. Get 'em good." A chuckle is heard before the microphone cuts out.

I pull back on my throttle, the kick of the aircraft hitting me immediately. The sheer speed of the aircraft sends adrenaline pumping through my veins, and the plane pulls up on it's own accord as I hit the middle of the runway. I retract my landing gear, and pull up to cruising altitude before heading north towards the target range, pulling a barrel roll or two along the way.

[NoZoner]

We return to base in time to see Pheonix 1-2 take off in the direction of the target range. Once the runway is cleared, I land my aircraft and take her in for the day. I return to the barracks and have a short rest.

Four Foxbats zoom over the base. Bullets zoom past PHOENIX 1-2 as he takes off, and a few slam into the side of his craft.

[Watcher In The Myst]

Sirens turn on the base. Claire hits the intercom. "FOXCLAW units, scramble to fighters, move!"

[Mikoyan]

I turn the aircraft into a short final and see four MiG-25s rocket past. I take evasive action, evading the bullets. I retract the gear and push the throttle up. "Tower, this is Phoenix 1-1 we need fighters NOW."

[Gojira]

"Patrol run over, returning to ba-"
Bullets and missiles whiz past my roosterpit.
"Talisman engaging!"
I fire a missile at the lead plane, shredding his plane, him being thrown out of the roosterpit, then every last piece of his god damn plane being torn off of the fuselage, even the roosterpit.

[Comatose]

I reach cruising altitude when three Foxbats creep up behind me. Two split off, while the third stays. Confused, I radio it in.

"Sky Eye, sighting of Foxbat aircraft, pleas- stuff!"

My plane rocks and several warning lights blink on my console as bullets pound into the starboard side of my Thunderbolt. I look to my right wing with widened eyes.

My right engine is completely gone.

"Phoenix 1-2 declaring a mayday, three bogeys on my tail, one engine down. I, uh, I'm not sure about this."

As the Foxbat on my tail continues to fire, I waggle my wings and bring myself into an Immelmann loop. The Foxbat does the same, but pulls in front of me. I pull the trigger, sending the 30mm rounds into the right engine and right wing. The jet struggles as I continue to fire down the center of the plane pulling away after hitting the roosterpit and seeing the wash of red on the inside of the canopy.

As the jet hits the ground and explodes, I turn back to base.

"Phoenix 1-2 reporting, one down."

[NoZoner]

My rest is cut short as the alarm is raised over the base. Ground crews immediately storm out of the base and rush to arm the aircraft to eliminate the airborne threat. Without a second thought, I run to them and try to assist them in any way I can. Suddenly, an explosion rips over the base and I turn around to see Pheonix 1-2 lose an engine. "Dammit, we need to work faster," I mutter under my breath.

[Gojira]

"Fox 1, Fox 1," I say as I fire a radar guided missile.
It hits dead center, sending the plane flipping end over end.
"Splash two Foxbats."

[Watcher In The Myst]

Eight more arrive

Claire quickly taxis and lifts off, and immediately spots two more, flying in a broken formation. She aims for the engine on the left side of the upper left Foxbat, and the engine blows. The plane spirals down and smashes into the other one. Using the rocket pod she had mounted on, she finishes them off. The other Foxbat uses unguided missiles and her Terminator is hit in the left wing. "Mayday, mayday, Foxclaw One-Three going down! Clear runway!"

[Gojira]

"stuff!"
I fire a missile at another Foxbat, shearing its wing clean off.
"They just keep coming!"
I fire a volley of missiles at three, bringing them all down.
"Splash four Foxbats!"

[Mikoyan]

2 Migs pull up behind me and fire 2 heat seekers. I release flares and pull back, making the airplane climb at an angled rate. The Migs fly past, obviously not being able to go slow enough for the A-10. I line my sights up with one of them and barely squeeze the trigger, causing the plane to explode in a fireball. I fly right through the debris, causing one of my engines to flame out. "stuff..." I pull the fire extinguisher and enter the pattern.

Yeah, I'm going to try to land.
