Back To Page 9 I went through the valley, admiring the maneuvering I had to do. It reminds me of flying in Norway with a good friend in the Norwegian Air Force last year, when the conflict here started up. I have flown in the F-16B, but did not fly it, for I was unqualified. […]

Back To Page 7 I merely went to afterburner to help me get at a higher altitude, and eventually the mujahid aircraft had locked me up! I switched to BVR mode, and selected my R-77s, instead of my AIM-120s. I felt a Russian response was more appropriate. I quickly gained altitude, and the enemy aircraft […]

Back To Page 6 “Captain Scarlet, this is Nevsky, request threat picture.” The British sounding Russian came over the radio. “Nevsky you have one bandit SE of you, closing, hot.” “Spasiba, Nevsky out.” I would just let fate intervene as far as the fighter.

Back To Page 3 “Alekseyevich, look at this!” He handed me a slip of paper. It was in translated Russian, the picture of Sacha’s aircraft unmistakably in the photo, “Red-11”. It proclaimed that she was an executioner working for the Russian air force, and should be brought to the Hague for war crimes. I laughed […]

Back To Page 2 Sgt. Gennedy was outside smoking a cigarette as I pulled up. He saluted, and waved me over. I walked over, and lit a smoke myself. “How is the aircraft?” “It is good, I had the boys perform maintenance on the left engine. It appeared to be a leak there, but […]

Back To Page 1 “Good morning my hunters, how are we today?” “Just another day in paradise Comrade Major.” Dimitri’s replied, somewhat tired. He was somewhat annoyed with the Major. I was too, but I was more politic about it. “I am doing well sir, somewhat tired.” “Good good, I myself have come from the […]

by Guest Writer Eric “Flanker56” Johnson I awoke another restless morning. It was dawn and I contemplated breakfast. It had been quiet on the front, with small skirmishes. The 41st Guards Division were making small advances, despite my attack on the Division HQ a day ago. The loss has affected their morale, and communications on […]

Back to Page 3 Last is NASCAR Racing 2003 Season, tested using a crowded Daytona track and a camera view set inside of Earnhardt’s cockpit.
