InterceptionVirginia rolled her eyes under her flight helmet's visor. Oh brother. This squadron was definitely interesting, even if they were a mixed bag from the UN. Very well, she'd fly in with the lead and see if she couldn't scare them off their friendlies. She broke off from the formation and checked her radar.
There you are."Mako, start looking for targets on the ground for the JDAMs. Also, keep an eye on our lead. I wanna know the second any of those bandits start looking at 'em funny."
"Roger."
"Alright, big boy. Let's see how well you can dance..."
She hit the sidewinder missile select and flew in low behind the first craft. These alien ships were always so weird, but they still blew up like everything else she seen. good thing they had AIM-9X's. She got tone and held it on for as long as she could before hitting the notch and soaring right over the thing.
"How'd you like that?" She asked the fighter that couldn't hear her, grinning to herself.
Rose turned in her seat and watched the fighter move erratically. It was their first contact, but she guessed they weren't expecting them. Hell, when Mav had her fangs out, she always did get a bit ballsy. Well okay, Rose always did give her the occasional joke that she was probably packing more than just her sidearm when they got into the cockpit, but that was because she sometimes had to remind her driver that she existed in order to keep her from doing something stupid. For now, the first one was shook up and looked like it either wanted out or was trying to get up to the escorts. Bad move, as both of them saw it.
"Mako, what's the position of that bandit in relevance to our friendlies?"
"Should be good. You splash it and we won't have to worry about it falling on them."
"Good."
"Oh dear..."
Virginia swung around and gained a bit of distance on the target, switching to the AMRAAMs. She lined up the nose and had a good angle on the fighter.
"Maverick, Fox Three!"
She fired as soon as the confirmation tone rang in her helmet. The AIM-120 flew off the rail from under the wing and streaked ahead. Being a Fire and Forget missile, Virginia saw no real reason to keep on path and nosed down and away. The missile struck the target right in it's engine. Done.
"Splash one MiG!"
"Mav..."
Virginia felt herself get hot in her flightsuit and groaned. All those training exercises...
"Sorry, force of habit..."
Virginia took the Falcon around and started looking for any other targets to engage.
