118th Tactical Fighter Wing: Aces are Born - Mission 10 - Tango Line

[Comatose]

didn't even come to my amazing briefing~

forget YOUR BRIEFING

[Ad Bot]

[Gojira]

"Talon Flight, form up on me. We're providing escort, and strictly escort, for Phoenix Flight."

[Watcher In The Myst]

"Talon Flight, form up on me. We're providing escort, and strictly escort, for Phoenix Flight."

"Talon, suggest you guys break off and fight a little aways from us, we'll provide primary escort. You can take the blunt of the force, if you will. I'll siphon off some of my own if you get hit too hard."

[NoZoner]

After the briefing, I hop into the roosterpit and get to work. I gain start-up clearance and immediately race through the A-10 checklist. I check my stores to see what I'm given to work with. General purpose high explosive bombs take up almost all of my hardpoints, save for the two AIM-9M Sidewinders for aerial defense and a few AGM-65s. After double checking the roosterpit to make sure everything is working in proper order, I call up the tower and request permission to taxi to the runway.

"Phoenix 1-3, you are cleared to taxi, hold short on runway 35."

I add power and begin rolling.

[xxxxkill]

"I'm hurt, Foxclaw. I thought you had more trust in us," I said sarcastically, peeling away from the group.

[Mikoyan]

I follow the lead of Granville, rolling right behind him.

[Comatose]

I pull up off the runway, retracting my landing gear as I clear it. I check my aircraft's loadout, making sure I have all the necessary weaponry. "Phoenix 1-2, runway cleared, loadout confirmed."

[NoZoner]

After waiting for several minutes, I'm finally next. I hold short of the runway and contact the tower.

"Phoenix 1-3, tower, you are cleared for takeoff on runway 35."

After checking to make sure the pattern is clear, I align my aircraft to the runway. Power to 100%. Before I know it, I'm up in the air and climbing. I retract my gear and continue accelerating. Eventually, I pull up next to two.

"Three, entering formation. I'm coming up on your starboard, two. Wait for flight leader."

[Mikoyan]

"Phoenix 1-1, position and hold." I pull onto the runway, shortly after 1-3 started rolling. Once 1-3 was climbing I was given clearance, "Phoenix 1-1 cleared for takeoff." I slowly push the power forward and before I know it, I'm in the air, waiting for Phoenix flight to join up.

[Comatose]

I move into a V-formation with 1-3.

[Gojira]

"Alright. Foxclaw, we'll take the enemy fighters. You focus on ground attacks. The good thing is you'll be able to defend yourself if someone attacks you," I say with a chuckle.

[Mikoyan]

"Shut the forget up." I say, my voice silently coming on the radio.

[Gojira]

"Shut the forget up." I say, my voice silently coming on the radio.

"...I was talking to Foxclaw. But sorry, if I somehow offended you."

[HerpaDerp]

I taxi onto the runway after Phoenix 1-1. I ask clearance as I check to make sure everything is fine. "Phoenix 1-4, you are cleared for takeoff". I push on the throttle and as I hit the right speed I pull my nose up and takeoff, getting into formation with the Phoenix flight

[Gojira]

"Alright 118th, let's get to the mission areas."
