morning.
It tastes good going down -
- then 13 hours later,
it makes you scared shitless.
Do a check-out list like I told you.
They'll know something's up soon.
If checkpoint contacts us, ignore it.
By the time they figure it out,
we'll be over the coast.
Bring up the stores list.
Watch it carefully.
It's all you've got.
Look at your fuel gauge.
Run out of either of them, you're dead.
I got that.
We're running at about Mach 0.6.
Go to 3000 feet and hold your air speed.
Watch out for naval vessels.
Falcon 1, you have deviated
from your flight plan.
Please advise.
It's just you and me, kid.
Drop down to 3000 feet like I told you.
When we're 100 miles off the coast,
drop to 400 feet.
- Keep under that, or they'II see you.
- I know that.
I bet you thought you knew that.
You know their missiles
have French radar?
So you can fool them with foil packs.
- I didn't know that.
- Bet you didn't know that.
At the coast, punch it to Mach 0.9,
but don't go supersonic.
When we reach the mountains,
stay low and tight.
If we "snake" them right,
they won't know what hit them.
You go for the runway, and I'II
take out the tower and communications.
Don't miss.
You only have four clusters.
Make each one count.
Make sure you line them up right.
And play the right music.
These guys are no rookies.
They shot down your dad.
- You won't freeze up?
- Anybody tell you you talk too much?
My ex-wife.
There's the enemy coast.
Start up your jamming.
Coming up to the mountains.
Radar hasn't caught us yet.
We're seven minutes behind schedule.
They run manoeuvres at 7:30.
We have to pick up some time -
- or we'll be flying in a MIG soup.
Stay below 300 feet.
I have something that will help
pick up some time.
This is no game.
I could get used to that.
We made up three minutes.
Radar hasn't picked us up yet.
- I hope they're running late.
- I won't think about it.
Get ready, II Kharem is coming up.
They've picked us up on radar.
Too late for them now.
Cluster the runway. I'll do the rest.
- Three MIGs have taken off.
- We'll handle them in the air.
Take out that runway!
I hit it!
I got the runway and the plane.
Now worry about
those three MIGs that got up.
Climb!
They're running away!
They were just getting out of the way.
Now, get out of range!
Damn!
I got them!
I got all three guns!
But one of them got me.
- How bad?
- Not head on, but close enough.
- What kind of damage?
- Electrical problems.
- Two MIGs coming up fast.
- Follow me and listen carefully.
- Load that tape I made you.
- What's on it?
Don't argue with me!
Is it loaded yet?
I'm only going to say this once!
If anything happens to me,
climb out of range and play that tape.
- It might save your ass.
- Nothing will happen to you.
When the MIGs get in range, split off
from me and proceed to the next target.
One will follow you and one will
follow me. I'll head back to the Med.
I want to stay with you.
How can you handle them?
Don't worry about me.
Just do what I told you and concentrate.
Your dad is depending on you.
Split off from me now!
All right, you bastard!
I just waxed a bandit
and I'm coming to you.
I told you, damn it.
Put in that tape and forget about me.
Damn it!
Hold together for two more seconds.
Mayday
Chappy, where are you?
Put in that tape.
Nothing you can do about me.
- I want to help you!
- Climb high like I told you.
I won't make it!
Lots of things must have gone wrong
if you're listening to this.
Whatever happened,
I know you must be real scared.
I wouldn't blame you if you headed home
or made a flat out run -
- for Helicon Air Base in Greece.
You're probably filled
with all the doubts in the world.
But I'll tell you something.
God doesn't give people things
He doesn't want them to use.
And He gave you the touch.
It's a power you have inside you,
down where you keep your guts.
It's all you need
to get back what they took from you.
Your dad's waiting
