I speed by Green's plane.
"Don't worry about it," I say as I pass.
I push for altitude, and spot a group of Flankers below.
I dive back on them. All of them but the fourth man break. I dive on him, firing as I go. He finally takes action just as they fall on him. A few impact, some smoke trails just wing. He turns back to where he came. I get a missile alert, and pull on the stick hard, along with deploying flares and chaff. The missile flies away under me. Radar shows there's an aircraft at my seven. He's in a bad gun position, as he's crossing too far above and behind.
A stupid idea pops into my head. He's really close to me, so I go for Pugachev's cobra.
I pull hard and the aircraft shakes violently. I close the distance before he has time to correct his shot. He passes off my right wing. I nose back over as he speeds away, and engage afterburners and fly for him. I give him a small burst. It misses, and I fire again, but just as I do, he rolls. A second aircraft appears behind me and fires. I hear a few bullets hit my plane.
"stuff! Not my loving brand ass new plane!"
I bank and pull for the Flanker. I get a tone and fire. Another stream flies by. The defender evades the missile. I realize how dangerous this situation is and pull back on the stick. I engage afterburners and zoom away. The attacker can't keep up with me and disengage, but not before firing one last futile missile.
