I warn Troy off, as the TEWS shows the first spike of the MiG-29 radars as they rocket off the concrete.

“Two, pince left! One, shooter. Music on!”

“Two.”

“Weapons free!”

“Two, engaging left.”

	I focus on the right MiG, and lock him up in TWS, designating an AMRAAM.
	The MiGs are low, hugging the ground, and as I fire, I lose the lock. The AMRAAM has not gone active, even though we are within RTR, and goes wild. I change to auto-vertical and reff into a hard right turn, as Troy’s bandit cuts across my line of vision.
	“Two, change-up!”“Roger. Fox 3.”I lock on the second bandit, now scissoring left, and bring up a Sidewinder. I have the speed advantage on him and he will not evade me. I am closer than one nautical mile, nearly in guns range, before I fire.
	The Sidewinder flies true, detonating just above the MiG and taking it out of the fight.
	Meanwhile, the second MiG has turned like a cornered rat, and as Troy fires his last AMRAAM, it fires an R-27.
