Flight of Black Angel Page #4

Synopsis: A top US Air Force fighter pilot decides that his call sign of Black Angel means that he's a messenger of God.

GROUND ANYTHING:

THE ONLY THING:

IN THE AIR SHOULD BE

THE 34th AND 421st

TAC SQUADRONS.

YOU CAN'T BE SURE

[BEEPS]

BEDFORD CONTROL,

THIS IS RINGLEADER.

I'M AIRBORNE.

COME IN, OVER.

ROGER, RINGLEADER.

THIS IS CONTROL.

LISTEN, YOU MAY NOT HAVE

TOO MUCH TO WORRY ABOUT.

OUR ADVISORS INSIS THAT IF THE PACKAGE

HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH,

IT WILL NOT DETONATE.

HE CAN DROP THE BOMB,

BUT WITHOUT A FUSE,

IT WILL NOT GO OFF.

WHAT IF HE'S NO GOING TO DROP IT?

WHAT IF HE'S THE FUSE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN?

LET'S SAY

HE RIDES IT DOWN,

GOES KAMIKAZE,

BLOWS UP HIS PLANE.

A COUPLE OF HUNDRED POUNDS

OF JET FUEL:

MAKES A HELL OF A LO OF FIREWORKS.

IS THAT POSSIBLE?

CAN HE USE THE PLANE

TO DETONATE THE BOMB?

I DON'T--

HE WOULD HAD TO HAVE DONE

EXTENSIVE REWORKING

OF THE BOMB CIRCUITRY.

IS IT POSSIBLE?

I DON'T KNOW.

MAYBE.

RINGLEADER,

LISTEN TO ME.

YOU'VE GO TO KEEP HIM AWAY

FROM POPULATED:

AREAS.

REPEAT, AWAY FROM

POPULATED AREAS.

GETTING SHOT DOWN

MAY BE EXACTLY:

WHAT HE WANTS.

I COPY YOU, CONTROL.

PROCEEDING:

TO RENDEZVOUS POINT.

TANGO UNIFORM.

Ryan:
BLUE ZERO 4-FLIGHT,

THIS IS RINGLEADER.

WE ARE IN PURSUI OF AN F-21 MIRAGE,

AND HE IS HOSTILE.

HE WILL BE JAMMING

AND FLYING LOW:

ON HIS APPROACH,

SO KEEP YOUR HEADS

OUT AND CLEAR.

ALL COMMERCIAL AIR TRAFFIC

IN THE AREA HAS:

BEEN SUSPENDED.

WE ARE TO PURSUE

AND REPEL FROM THE CITY,

BUT NO SHOOTING.

I REPEAT--

DO NOT FIRE ON HIM.

RINGLEADER,

THIS IS FALCON ONE.

WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LO OF DOUBLE-TALK BACK AT BASE.

COULD YOU BE STRAIGH WITH US, SIR?

[SIGHS] ALL RIGHT.

WE ARE IN PURSUI OF A RENEGADE PILOT.

OUR BANDIT IS HOT.

SUSPECTED TARGE IS LAS VEGAS.

WE'RE DEALING WITH

A REAL SITUATION HERE.

AFFIRMATIVE,

FALCON ONE.

[GEIGER COUNTERS CLICK]
