Two Sidewinders and 244 rounds.
We'll never reach safety.
We're burning fuel too fast.
We have to take them on.
I guess so.
Think you can you handle a loop?
Think you can handle the music?
One down, one to go.
You may deal dlrectly wlth me now.
Colonel Akir Nakesh.
Then you can deal with me, Doug Masters.
Watch it, son.
Nice shot.
Anything else you want to send over?
Way to fly, Doug.
You are a dead man.

Take a steady straln.
So long, asshole.
Dad! More MiGs!
I don't think she can
take much more.
What's our stats?
Only 30 rounds, 800 pounds of fuel.
Too chancy to face them.
Try to outrun them.
I hope you're right.
Taking her to Mach 1.
I can't keep up this speed.
We'll have to slow down or dump it.
We'll have to face them.
I'm ready.
Four more jumping us!
Pull up hard!
Thls Is Blue Leader.
Do you read?
They're ours, Dad!
They're Amerlcans!
Roger, Blue Leader.
I got two bandits on my ass.
Can you assist?
Roger. We're about to contact the
aggressor and verlfy hls Intentlons.
Attention, unidentified aircraft.
This is Major Smiley, U.S. Air Force.
You are followlng one of our F-16s
In Internatlonal alrspace.
Do you wlsh to engage?
I didn't think so.
The MIGs do not wlsh to engage
at thls tlme.
Were you able to retrleve
Colonel Masters?
He's here with me, Major.
Congratulatlons. Welcome home.
We were worried about you since we
got the mayday from Col. Sinclair.
We thought you went down with him.
Did you find the wreckage?
Only parts of it.
Scattered all over the Med.
We'll escort you to Ramsteln Alr
Force base In West Germany.
We have a fuel problem.
Don't worry. There's a fuel tanker
standing by.
Major?
Can we fly the Missing Man formation for
Colonel Sinclair?
We're already In posltlon.
We'd be honored If you'd
ease up front and take the lead.
Chappy wanted me to play this for you
as soon as we were safe.
Good mornlng, Col. Masters.
Thls Is Col. Chappy Slnclalr.
I guess by now you're
over the Medlterranean.
Hope you feel good.
You'll be home soon.
I don't have to tell you
what klnd of son you got.
I'm sure you already know.
I'm sure you'd llke to know
how he got over to you.
Thls kld comes up to me one day and
tells me he's got a problem...
... and could I help hlm.
He was a cocky guy,
kept telllng me how good he could fly.
Nice of you to join us for the occasion,
Mr. Iron Eagle, sir!
They told us you went down in the Med.
I did. I had to do
a little dog paddling...
...until I got picked up
by an Egyptian trawler.
Your dad said it didn't go
easy for you either.
- Is Dad coming to this?
- He's still in debriefing.
It's just you and me, kid.
They're going to put us in jail.
You know that, don't you?
Whatever they do, keep your head up
and your shoulders back.
They like it when you stand tall.
Stand at ease.
I've read the statements of all
the principals...
...involved in this
highly irregular operation.
You both stand accused of violating
virtually every section...
...of the National Security Act.
The penalty for such violations
could incarcerate you...
...for the next 25 years.
Have any idea of the consequences
of your actions?
If the details came to light...
...it would undermine
