postponing the mission.

How far away is this island?

50 miles. maybe more.

Take us closer.

You wanna launch, do it from here.

Can you punch through that, Colonel?

- Our opening is now.

- Bring This whole right here?

Yeah, it's a real low pressure pocket.

I appreciate your passion, Randa...

but as a field supervisor

of the controlling agency...

I say we abort. that's it,

we are gonna abort.

Wise call.

I'm sure the Landsat inspector

will be inspired by your courage.

I hope you inspired by my common sense.

This is only a map surveying

To one of the vast unchartered areas

on the face of the earth.

And you want to call it on account of rain?

Stay on the boat if you want to.

It could be years

before we get another shot at this.

I'm told your unit is capable

of handling inclement weather, Colonel.

Why don't we leave it to Colonel Packard

to break the tie?

There is no way

I'm getting on that helicopter.

We did ask on those helicopters.

Should not they know why?

Why? And raise an alarm?

It is purely a precaution, Brooks.

Right.

Two mike to launch.

Two mike to launch.

Still this end to come

Nothing he wouldn't do himself.

He is taking the lead.

That means he miss his bed, I miss my bed.

Don't you miss your bed?

Do you even have a bed, Cole?

You got a bed, right?

See you at the rendevzous, Chapman.

Yes sir.

SEISMIC LOADS:

Complete FOB lockdown, and clear the deck.

One mike to launch.

- Battery?

- Check.

- Generator start?

- Check.

- Engine start?

- Checked three times.

This is Fox. Leader of the Fox Group.

It's time once again...

Griffin and ants show.

As usual, remember...

... Hold on to your butts!

Attention pilots. You are clear to takeoff.

Launch, launch, launch.

Combat formation.

Keep visual.

Fox five let me know when you're close.

Fox Five is in the slot.

Roger that.

Fox Team, follow up on me. Keep together.

Let's do this!

Maintain course.

Nothing we haven't done before.

"Dear Billy.

"You ever look inside a hurricane

and decide?

"Maybe I should fly straight through it."

"Because that is what just happen."

You might want to hang on.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Switch to inertial navigation.

And remember the story of Icarus...

whose father gave him wings, they flex.

Warned him not to fly too close to the sun.

But the exhilaration was too great.

So he flew higher and higher...

until the sun melted his wings...

and he fell into the sea.

The US Army is not an irresponsible father.

So they gave us wings to fight hot

Pennsylvania steel.

Guaranteed not to melt.

Oh wait, that's pretty, huh?

Let's take him low and level.

Fox Leader to Fox Group.

Clear up, survey as told.

Fox Seven, prepare set her on deck.
