The Last One Standing
“Nevsky, Destiny Angel. Report status.”
I key my mike and speak in Russian, so the E-3 will not guess why I call. I should have known better — the British controller is multilingual. I should not be surprised.
“Calling Destiny Angel. Your friend Nevsky was cleared for your alternate field, and has arrived safely.”
I respond in English. I fear somewhat sheepishly. This, my squadron-mates will not soon let me forget. Nevertheless, it is good to see home again.
“Spasibo, Captain Scarlet. Returning home base.”
It is good to see home again.

Note: This is a track/mission. Of course if you wish to fly the strike portion, by all means do so. Also, if you wish to fly the air combat portion (which happens at the end of the track), take control of the Su-33, then hit F2 to select the MiG-29S. Then hit ALT + J to take over that aircraft. You’re stuck with what it’s got, so make do with what you have. Naturally it has been flying back and forth so it will be low on fuel. Your best bet is to land at Gudauta and refuel there, or any close airfield. The two Mirage 2000-5s appear at 0730, so good luck!
