Time is your greatest enemy.
Phase one of the mission will be a low-level ingress attacking in two-plane teams. You'll fly along this narrow canyon to your target. Radar-guided surface-to-air missiles defend the area. These sams, they're lethal. But they were designed to protect the skies above, not the canyon below. Maverick tells us
That's because the enemy knows no one is insane enough to try and fly below them.
That's exactly what I'm gonna train you to do. On the day, your altitude will be 100 feet maximum.
You exceed this altitude, Radar will spot you and you're dead. Your airspeed will be 660 knots minimum. Time to target: Two and a half minutes.
That's because fifth-generation fighters wait at an air base nearby. In a head-to-head with these planes in your f-18s, you're dead.
That's why you need to get in, hit your target and be gone before these planes even have a chance of catching you.
This makes time your greatest adversary.
You'll fly a route in your nav system that simulates the canyon. The faster you navigate this canyon, the harder it'll be to stay under the radar of these enemy sams.
The tighter the turns, the more intensely the force of gravity on your body multiplies.
Compressing your lungs.
Forcing the blood from your brain
Impairing your judgment and reaction time.
So for today's lesson, we're gonna take it easy on you.
Max ceiling: 300 feet. Time to target: Three minutes.
Good luck.
unlike everyone else I was the only who made it to the target successfully and "survived"
rooster was the only other person who made it to the target but he was a minute late.
Why are you dead? Maverick asked rooster
You're team leader up there. Why are you, why is your team dead? Maverick kept on going
Sir, he's the only one who made it to the target. I said to defend him
A minute late. maverick sighs
He gave enemy aircraft time to shoot him down. He is dead.
You're not flying fast enough. You don't have a second to waste. hangman buts in
We made it to the target. saying in defence
And superior enemy aircraft intercepted you on your way out. maverick tells him
Then it's a dogfight. rooster says
Against fifth-generation fighters. Maverick yelled
Yeah. We'd still have a chance. rooster says back to Maverick giving him a glare
In an F-18.
It's not the plane, sir, it's the pilot. rooster stated
Exactly!
There's more than one way to fly this mission. Rooster said
You really don't get it. hangman says
On this mission, a man flies like Maverick here, or a man does not come back.
he then looked and me and phoenix giving us one of his disgusting smirks
No offense intended.
Yet somehow you always manage. Bob defends us
We're going into combat, son, on a level no living pilot's ever seen.
Not even him.
mav knew he was right, this is one of the thoughest mission any of us will experience. even maverick
That's no time to be thinking about the past. hangman said, his choice of words seemed to confuse me
What's that supposed to mean? rooster asked
I can't be the only one that knows that Maverick flew with his old man.
That's enough. Or that Maverick was flying when his old man-
rooster jumped up from his heat to try to grab hangman
You son of a bitch! Rooster yells out
Hey, come on!
I'm cool, I'm cool. Hey, hey. hangman tells the aviators
He's not cut out for this mission.
I then kicked him rights in the balls cause him too fall down and cry for help
and your not cut out for having kids, you dickhead! I shout at him
.
You're all dismissed.
