In his remaining memory, the afternoon air combat broke out from the time he received an interception order from the command center and started to cross the Asia Minor Peninsula; however, the most indelible impression he should be that after launching a group of "Immortal Birds" volleys, they encountered the Russian attacking forward unexpectedly and saw the impressive Red No. 17 "Flanker" fighter jet.

In the previous battle, the "Red Wild Boar" squadron had never encountered "flankers", of course, because they did not arrive in the war zone for a long time. However, in the air information notice sent above, it was indeed mentioned that the Russian "flankers" in the Caucasus had their number one ace; I didn't expect that during visual contact, it was discovered that it was the No. 17 mentioned in the notice, which made Sean, who took the initiative to enter the fight, was quite nervous, but at the same time, he also developed an inexplicable competitive spirit.

He had participated in the "Golden Canyon" operation in Libya before and made great achievements in the Gulf War. Sean's aviation service career was not short, and his shooting down record of a total of six aircraft also made him the top trump card in the "Red Wild Boar" squadron.

Suddenly he found himself facing the legendary "Crazy Ivan". Phelps did not panic, but immediately entered a fierce battle with his wingman. He wanted to know that this oncoming Russian was alone but obviously an unscrupulous Russian. Is he really as powerful as the legend?

After entering the battle with the "Flanker", Phelps had a keen observation and judged that the opponent had no missiles; his strong desire to win made him feel surprised. He thought maybe this time he was really lucky. Their two aircraft could take this opportunity to chase and fight relentlessly and knock down the rumored arrogant Russian ace!

It is precisely because of such rash consideration that when they discovered that the Russians took the initiative to avoid war and left north, the two "super cats" were chasing them relentlessly. In the end, they were caught off guard by the fleet air missiles that emerged from somewhere, and almost threw their lives into the waves of the vast Black Sea.

Recalling the scene at that time, missiles dragging white smoke attacked one after another, and that kind of scene can only be described as extremely terrifying.

Although he had subconscious maneuvering and avoiding the attack with solid driving skills, the wingman was not so lucky: the other F-14D, which was hit by a missile that caused one engine to stop, struggled to fly out of control due to a flight control system failure and fell into the Black Sea waters close to the coastline.

Meeting on a narrow road, but ended with a fleeing in a panic. This fierce air battle without results made Phelps truly feel the terror of Russia's number one ace, but he also felt sorry for not being able to seize the opportunity and kill the opponent who ran out of missiles. However, after the fierce battle, the most thoughts in his mind were probably when he would encounter that "crazy Ivan" again and have the opportunity to fight with that extremely experienced guy again.

——So what if it’s the number one ace?

Although the Russian "flanker" is strong, the "super cat" of the "red wild boar" is not easy to mess with!

The two-on-one pursuit battle was plotted and lost its wingman. Phelps, who suffered setbacks, still has a lot of confidence in his technology. At least now he is not afraid of the Russian who made many air force pilots scared of talking.

No matter where he came from or how many shooting down records he had, he was still a pilot, right?

Since you are a pilot, not a devil who is not afraid of swords and guns, there will always be times when you reveal flaws and be defeated by others.

Immersed in the persistent idea of ​​fighting spirit, Major Phelps saw the light gray ch-47 helicopter gradually approaching and landing slowly over the aircraft carrier; greeting the young man who jumped from above and hugging for a moment, he asked the two partners who had experienced sea rescue and long-distance bumps to go to the infirmary for routine inspections. He also needed close cooperation from the wingman in the subsequent battle.

It's fine for the pilot to be fine. As for the loss of f-14d, that's not a big problem.

He waved his hand to the figure who followed the doctor away and disappeared from the hatch. Major Phelps was about to ask his partner Pearson to leave the deck, go to the restaurant for supper and then attend the squadron regular meeting, but he saw two small black dots in the sky as Pearson pointed.

——What is that? It seems like two more helicopters?

A few minutes later, under the curious eyes of Sean, Pearson and others, two dark green ch-47 helicopters also landed one after another; on the wide aviation deck of the "Carl Vinson", three "Chinnukans" with distinctive appearances were now parked at once, which made people think that they were on the surface of the amphibious assault ship.

The blades were still spinning slowly, and the roar of the engine had not stopped. Several marines in camouflage uniforms jumped out of the helicopter. The officers following behind waved and signaled the deck personnel to call the electric car, and then ordered the marines to form a circle of fine rings. The soldiers holding the m4a3 carbine immediately signaled to the nearby people to avoid temporarily. Sean and the other two were also called to leave. They walked with doubts while looking back from time to time.

——It seems that it is a Marine helicopter. Where did they come from? What did they do when they come up to the aircraft carrier?

As he walked, he looked back and looked around. Sean was still thinking about his doubts, but the sharp-eyed Pearson deliberately walked slower, and then he quickly caught up with Sean's footsteps.

"Shawn, did you see it?"

"Didn't see it,——what?"

"I saw the electric car dragged out, um..." Pearson hesitated a little, "judging from the specifications of the packaging box, it seems to be a 'Immortal' missile."

“‘Immortal’…?”

Phelps thought in confusion, what does this mean?

Two Marines ch-47s from afar, just to transport a few "Immortal Birds"?

To talk about the "Immortal Bird" missile, it is not surprising at all on the "Carl Vinson": it was originally coming from afar and it was only a few days before it was put into the battlefield. There were still many Aim-54b stocks in the ammunition depot of the aircraft carrier for "Super Cats". These Marines made a special trip just to escort a few missiles, which was really difficult to understand.

Of course, the soldiers took obeying orders as their duty. Although it felt strange, Sean and his partner still didn't think much about it. It was not surprising that there were any strange things that happened during the war. Who knew what secret tasks or arrangements were there?
