Bell positions her aircraft to refuel.

"I'll stay out on patrol until the carrier can launch planes again, anybody who has a severely damaged aircraft should go ahead and land."

I check my fuel gauge. There's only about half an hour of fuel left, I had only started out with the tanks half full. Afterburning around didn't help. Colossal aircraft, colossal engines, colossal fuel consumption.

"Flight control, request refueling slot,"

"Looks like I'm landing then."
I position my aircraft behind the port port.
"Mjolnir 2-3 requesting landing permission."

"I've expended most of my ordnance, and I want to clear this lift fan for continued use." Gus says. He adds with a laugh, "And that means I'm not going to be here to save your ass again, Ralph." Gus smoothly presses several buttons in a sequence, dropping his landing gear and closing his ordnance bay doors. "Carrier, this is Mjolnir 1-4. Requesting permission to land." He reduces the throttle and makes his way towards the port side landing bay.

Bell positions her aircraft to refuel.
"Mjolnir 1-1, you are clear to refuel, proceed when ready."

I check my fuel gauge. There's only about half an hour of fuel left, I had only started out with the tanks half full. Afterburning around didn't help. Colossal aircraft, colossal engines, colossal fuel consumption.

"Flight control, request refueling slot,"
A refueling line drops out of the port tail boom and you are given authorization to use it.

"Looks like I'm landing then."
I position my aircraft behind the port port.
"Mjolnir 2-3 requesting landing permission."
If you want to use the numerical designation, it's row#-column#.
"Acknowledged, 2-2. Stand by."
You feel the change in handling as the landing assist grabs you and keeps you centered on your approach. From there, it is a simple matter to match the carrier's speed and not come down too quickly. Once you touch down, you are ordered to power down your engines and a group of crewmen in their safety gear and breathing equipment rush out to secure your plane as quickly as possible so it doesn't get blown off by the wind. They then attach a track-mounted tow cable to your plane and undo the initial restraints, allowing the carrier to pull you deeper inside.

He reduces the throttle and makes his way towards the port side landing bay.
"Confirmed, 1-4. Take up position and wait one while 2-2 gets out of the way."

Gus takes up position near the port hangar and waits for Hawkeye to be secured.

Jaakko eases into position behind the drouge, and deploys the sheathed fuel probe. He misses the basket around the line twice, before finally making a connection. The hiss of fuel flow cannot be heard over the deafening engines of the carrier.

But I have, really changed.

Explain what happened in the last battle and what is happening now

"I've got plenty of ordnance left on me - I can stay out here for a bit and patrol, I'm not looking forward to the mess hall quite yet."

is there another fuel boom I can call for

Hawkeye gets out of the way, and the same landing process is repeated with you and the F-35.

Bell refuels.
Both your planes are topped off with fuel.

is there another fuel boom I can call for
There's only two, so you'll have to get in line behind Crash or Shortsword.

But I have, really changed.
Nobody help him with this, this quiz is for him and him alone. If you want to take it yourself for some reason you can PM me or say it over steam, but nobody post the answers except him.

The answer to each of these questions is in the thread and is not difficult to find if you are willing to show initiative and figure things out for yourself. You have 36 hours to respond with your answers, starting from the time this was posted at, but for your own good don't rush it.

1. Explain what happened in the last mission and what is happening now.
2. Name, or at least identify or describe 3 NPCs. Nameless enemy pilots do not count, but nameless allied/enemy commanders do.
3. What are the names of main 5 nations involved in the war, and which side are they on?
4. What was the name of the Imperial battleship fought early on in the RP?
5. How many player characters have died over the course of the RP?
6. What was the objective of Mission 10?
7. What is the fastest plane in the world?
8. Where is this world?
9. How many ordnance points do Heatseekers, Anti-Ground Missiles, and Radar-Guided Missiles cost?
10. Write an roleplaying example in which your example character, named Dud Buttley, evades incoming gunfire from behind while launching a missile at a target ahead.
11 (Extra Credit). Name the real-world band Imperial jamming equipment uses music from.

Richard lines up behind Tempest and comes in for a landing.

Walt heads over to the fuel booms

" don't retract them quite yet, I'm going to grab some fuel after these guys"


I take off my helmet and climb out of my aircraft once it's secured inside the carrier, then head to the bunks.
