COUGAR:

Can't shake him.

MAVERICK (V.O.)

WHAT'S MIG ONE DOING?

COUGAR:

Maintaining course. Straight for

Mustang.

GOOSE:

Stay with him.

The tone grows steady, BLIPBLIPBLIPBLIP.

GOOSE:

(alarmed)

That's missile lock!

COUGAR:

He better be kidding!

GOOSE:

Lordy! Eyeball to A**hole.

Hope nobody burps!

14A. INT. MAVERICK'S F-14

MAVERICK:

I'LL LOCK ON THEM, COUGAR. (to himself)

Gotcha covered, don't nobody move.

COUGAR:

I'M UP HERE TOO, MAVERICK.

MAVERICK:

ROGER, COUGAR. (to himself and his RIO)

Okay boys, pull out with your hands up

and nobody'll get hurt.

14B. INT. COUGAR'S F-14

Up front, Cougar checks his gunsight...He gets I.R. lock...

COUGAR:

We're locked on MiG ONE. Why

doesn't he disengage?

GOOSE:

These guys are getting on my

nerves.

14C. FINALLY, MIG ONE TURNS AWAY.

GOOSE:

GHOST RIDER TO MUSTANG. BANDITS

TURNING AWAY.

But Cougar presses forward, and MiG TWO stays on his tail.

MAVERICK:

COUGAR, BREAK LEFT. TRY A HIGH G

ROLL UNDERNEATH. BREAK OUT THE

BOTTOM.

Anger gives way to discipline. Cougar's Tomcat breaks left,

dives into dense cloud. MiG TWO still follows.

MAVERICK:

HE'S STILL ON YOU, COUGAR.

15. EXT. COUGAR - IN THE CLOUDS

Still hears the tone, BLIPBLIPBLIP...

COUGAR:

I KNOW. I KNOW.

He rolls over into wild evasive maneuvers, finally breaks lock.

16. INT. MIG

Breaks out of cloud, looks around, startled. There is nothing,

no F-14. He scans the sky frantically, while rolling the

aircraft. ...Suddenly, he feels a presence. He looks straight up

and behind him. A few feet away, a TOMCAT slides into position

canopy to canopy, an incredible feat of flying. Maverick and

Wizard stare at him. Maverick slides even closer, canopies nearly

touching. The MiG pilot acknowledges them with a weak wave.

Maverick stares for a moment, then flips him the bird.

The MiG pushes negative G, hard down and away. He heads for the

deck.

WIZARD:

He's running for it.

MAVERICK:

Ah, the thrill of victory and the

agony of defeat.

WIZARD:

Speaking of feet, fuel's down to

4.0. We're gonna get them wet

unless we find a Sonoco station.

MAVERICK:

COUGAR, THIS IS MAVERICK. I'M

GETTING HUNGRY, LET'S HEAD FOR THE

BARN. ...COUGAR, WHERE ARE YOU?

17. EXT. KITTY HAWK FLIGHT DECK - THE LSO

Stands the on plunging deck, peering into the roaring night.

CCA (Filtered)

GHOST RIDER ONE-ONE-FIVE, THIS IS
