I look behind me, as I pull back to complete the loop. I see the burning flanker sinking back towards the ground.
"Good kill! Good kill! Green, you got one on your ta-"
A missile flies by, and hits the flanker on Green's tail, and shortly after, Estaloo's F-35 streaks by.
"Nice shot Estaloo! Kill confirmed!"
I completed the loop and looked at my radar.
"Guys, are we the only 86th here? Steele crashed, Haythem isn't here, Lt. Col. Perchinson was on the ground, I'm probably missing people, but that's what it looks like,"
I see a group of bombers egressing the area. I fly their way and prepare to dive on them. There tail guns don't track me. I fire away my last three IR missiles. Two hits, one miss. No aircraft downed though. The last bomber was smart and dumped a load of flares. I wing for another pass and take out the rightmost bomber, the smart one. I swing from the left and set the leftmost bomber alight. I finish the last bomber with last of my cannon ammo.
"Blackwater, Tempest here, reporting Winchester."
"Copy Tempest, RTB,"
