Flight Of Fury Page #3

...extensively, so...

- He's in Afghanistan.

We'll have a six-man team

on the ground to back you up.

But you've got to get in there and

you've got to get me that plane back.

- Hell, yeah.

- Once you get it up in the sky...

...you know

they'll be shooting at you...

...and you're gonna have to do

some fancy dancing.

Get me briefed

and I'll get up and get going.

Okay.

The X-77 can fly into enemy airspace

at supersonic speeds...

...drop missiles and smart bombs

with pinpoint accuracy...

...and come out

completely undetected.

It's the ultimate weapon.

But active stealth is a huge drain

on the 77's power supply.

So, Ratcher would have...

... had to turn off the active stealth

and return to passive stealth.

That's how we spotted him.

Satellite picked him up here,

over the Bonin Islands...

...heading due west

at 28 degrees north latitude.

He maintained that heading

until the satellite orbited out of range.

- Where exactly is the bird now?

- Satellite picked him up right here...

...this morning.

That's not gonna be fun

to get in and out of there.

- You got 72 hours.

- Seventy-two hours?

I couldn't pick my men, plan the op...

I couldn't even get in there.

You can in a Blackbird.

Now, I got a wizo...

...who knows

the Blackbird inside and out.

This kid is one of the hottest pilots

I've ever seen.

- Who's that, sir?

- Name's Rick Jannick.

He's your backup.

If it's okay with you, sir,

I'd rather not fly with him.

He's a little bit of an acrobat

and a showman...

...but no combat experience.

John, I got you out of jail because

I thought you were the best shot...

...we had at getting this plane back.

- Yeah, but...

- I don't give a damn what you think.

Jannick's my choice for backup.

He's on the mission.

Understood?

Yes, sir.

C- 130 on course and on schedule.

- Position, 38 degrees west...

- There you go.

- ... twenty-seven degrees north.

- Thank you, sir.

Navy SEALs are locked and loaded,

and ready to jump.

So when are wheels up?

I don't know. I gotta get up

in the sky with this guy?

You've gotta be kidding.

- How old are you now?

- Oh, I'm drinking age, sir.

Drinking age, sir.

Okay, guys, let's go.

You'll fly into a friendly base

...of where they stashed the 77.

There, you'll be met by a couple

of SF folks, who will provide you...

...with a ride, weapons and intel.

- Any assets on the ground?

We've got the colonel's asset,

Jessica.

She'll join you for the push

into the terrorist compound.

There, you'll grab the 77

and jump up.

If you can't jump up, you blow it up

and everybody who's seen it.

You have my word on that, sir.

Okay, guys.

Let's suit up.
