All systems to go waiting for your
order, sir.

Thank you, sir.

I'm on him.

By Edwards? Stand by to go active on my
mark.

Getting a pick.

Target locking on.

Gotcha.

Ratcher's got a lock, sir.

Told you, he's the best.

Nova, engage active stealth on my mark.

Three, two, one, mark.

Blue 2 have lost contact with Eggman and
do you have a positive?

Haas, the FLIR, or the EO, sir.

Target locator line is blank. Range to
target negative.

Closure rate zero.

Nothing. What about visual contact?

Now you see him, now you don't. He's not
on any of our displays, and I don't see

him out there.

Plane can't just disappear.

Blue One, you've been tagged.

Abort your mission and return to base.

You've been tagged.

Sorry, Tom.

You are the best we've got, but nobody
can beat Nova technology.

Go ahead and continue on to rendezvous
point Delta.

That's a 95 % PK.

Splash two F -16s.

Nice job, Nova.

You've been pressing people hard when
you got there.

Thank you, sir.

Black Thunder returning to base.

Roger, Nova. Great job.

Congratulations, Colonel.

Thank you, sir.

Even Tom couldn't get past the Nova.

Then we gave him a hell of a surprise.

Yes, sir. I'm sure we did.

General Barnes. Nick, great job. Thanks.
Great job. It's a milk run, sir. I

could have blasted those F -16s out of
the sky if you'd give me any ordnance on

board. I know you could have, I know.

Well, tomorrow's our last test exercise.

After that, we go from prototype to
production.

You're sending me to Baghdad, sir?

Your lips are God's ears.

Now, unfortunately, I'm only putting
Nellis on full alert.

Everyone from General Sorensen down to
the janitor will be looking for you. You

get in there, I'll buy you dinner.

Sir. I can taste that lobster now.

I'll bet you can.

Edwards, we got a problem.

Sir, Ratcher's reporting a malfunction.

Talk him through it, Captain.

Blue One, what's your status over?

Blue One to Edwards, do you copy?

Play now.

We've lost my engine.

Do it now.

He's got a flame out. Tom, get the hell
out of there.

He's losing altitude. Blue one, eject.

Eject, eject.

Eject. Team horse is too strong.

We've lost all radar contact. Did he
have time to eject?

It doesn't look good, sir. Damn it.

Okay. I'll inform General Barnes.

Sir. Yes, Colonel.

Colonel Ratcher's plane went down.

What? He crashed a few miles out.

What the hell happened?

Apparently a flame out. Search and
rescue is starting their investigation

Did he get out?

No, sir.

How the hell did this happen?

Tom Ratchett's one of the best pilots we
ever had.

Who is it? Base camp.

I probably pissed, but I didn't fill out
my reports.

Yes, sir.

Yeah, right away.

Hey, babe.

You're not going to believe this, but
I've got to go.

You're kidding.

Man, I wish I was.

Can we do this tomorrow?

Do I have a choice?

Hey, Nick.

How are you?

You up for this today?

Yeah, sure. As ready as I'll ever be.

Good.

Investigation team will want to talk to
you about Tom when you get back.

Sure. Set it up.

Gentlemen, today the Nova goes up
against the best aircraft detection

the world.

A United States Air Force base. Sir, you
really think the Nova can get through

Nellis' radar and patrol fighter net?
They're locked down tight as a drum.

Not only will the Nova get through...

But Colonel Moore will drop a dummy
payload right in the middle of runway

When he succeeds, it will be the
beginning of a new era in stealth

Captain? Nova One, you are now cleared
for takeoff.

Last radar contact with the Nova was
here.

That was 15 minutes ago. He should have
reached Nellis two minutes after that.

Now, if he's still cloaked, he's into
experimental territory.

We've never been active that long
before.

Nellis has no confirmation of payload
drop.

All right, Captain, break radio silence.

Yes, sir. Nova, Edward, do you copy?

Break radio silence and answer, Nova.

Nova, do you copy?

There's nothing, sir.

All right, Colonel.

Have Nellis start a search and rescue
operation immediately.

There is one other possibility, sir.
Yes?

Colonel Moore went AWOL with the plane.

I handpicked a colonel for this project.
I flew with his father in Vietnam. God

damn it!

This man did not steal my airplane.

Stone, Black Thunder.

Black Thunder to Stone, do you copy?

Go, Black Thunder!

The Nova is secure.

Excellent! Excellent!

Proceed to phase two.

Copy that.

Sir, Colonel Moore went through the
security checkpoints this morning. Three

sets of blue caps saw his ID card, his
thumbprint on the records. And no one

else had access to the notebook,
including any of our other pilots.

Right. Well, there's no way to get a
radar fix.

And Nellis has no reports of wreckage in
the area.

Damn it.

Come with me, Colonel.

There's something kind of funny about us
losing a stealth plane. I'm not

laughing, Colonel.

What I mean, sir, is we build an
invisible warplane... I know what you

Have CIO start satellite recon
immediately.

And I want an SR -71 fueled and ready to
go.

Yes, sir.

And, Colonel, get Vince Connors.

Okay, ready?

What are the four forces of flying?

The four forces.

Thrust, drag, lift, and weight.

Very good, Winston.

So, you going to let me fly the plane
now?

Like I said, you got to learn the
basics.

Like this guy here. See this guy?

That's Tom Ratcher. He can tell me
everything I know.

He's the best pilot there is.

You know what?

Use your teacher. You got it. You're
smart. You know everything.

Whiskey Tango Delta 71, do you copy?

Whiskey Tango Delta copy.

Connors, you are to return to the
airfield immediately by orders of

Barnes, USAF.

This is a national emergency.

Copy. Heading back.

Just going to have to cut this day
short.

This is Edwards Airport Base, Nova 1.
You've been detected by Eye in the Sky

satellite. By the power and authority of
the President of the United States of

America, you are hereby ordered to land
immediately.

Sorry, sir. We lost him again.

How are you? I'm not well.

What's the problem?

Vince, what I'm about to tell you does
not leave this building, understood?

Yes, sir.

Earlier today, one of our experimental
aircraft, the Nova, was stolen from this

base.

Stolen? Stolen.

The Nova's a black project, ultra -top
secret, codenamed Black Thunder.

It incorporates standard stealth
technology, but it adds something new,

active stealth system.

Active. What do you mean, active?

You're familiar with the black box ECM
on the SR -71?

Yes. The radar's here. Yes.

We've had a team working on improvements
for the past 35 years.

What they've come up with is active
stealth.

It's a cloaking device.

Cloaking device.

Like in space tech. Exactly.

It uses an electromagnetic impulse which
bends light to a wavelength of less

than 3 ,500 angstrom units, which
renders the nova invisible to the human

Blanketed from radar, positioning
devices, things of that nature.

Vince?

This is a completely invisible airplane.

He stole us, sir. Yes.

One of our best pilots.

Took off about three hours ago on a
routine training mission. He hasn't

returned. Search and rescue has found no
indication, no evidence of a crash

site.

Sir, what kind of range does this plane
have?

I mean, can't we just send in a strike
force and when it stops to refuel?

It's equipped with the latest in fuel
cell turbine technology.

It can fly over 20 ,000 kilometers
without refueling.

That's halfway around the world, sir.

What? It's the ultimate weapon, Vince.
Whoever has the Nova can literally rule

the world.

Sir, if each of our bases uses their
AWACS planes to search... Only a handful

people know this plane even exists. I
want to keep it that way.

You're the best pilot I've ever seen.

Vince, I need you to get that plane back
for me.

Active stealth is a drain on the Nova's
power system. It's designed only to work

with strategic and evasive operations.

So for most of the time, it'll be under
the cover of standard stealth only.

Now, our CIO spy satellite spotted the
Nova here over the Bonin Islands flying

on a heading of 260.

The Nova's equipped with a DAX satellite
monitoring system, so naturally, it

went active stealth here.

Probably moving in a straight line to
conserve fuel.

So this route's going to take them
through China?

What? India, Iran, Iraq.

Are you sure?

I don't know. That's a lot of ground.

That's why I'm sending you up in a
modified SR -71.

It's equipped with a Phillips thermal
tracking system, which can pick up the

Nova's heat signature, but only at close
range.

Sir, they found Cone Moore's body in his
apartment. Shot twice.

Nick Moore?

Yeah. They cut off his thumb to get by
the print scanner.

Well, at least we know Nick didn't steal
the plane.

But then who the hell did I put in that
cockpit this morning?

Does a man have an identical twin
brother?

Vince, I need you to get me that plane
back.

Minimum footprint.

Yes, sir.

We'll be working with Captain Rick
Janik.

Gee.

I'm not working with him.

What?

He's not a pilot, sir.

He's a skydiver. He takes too many
chances.

With all due respect, sir, I'd rather
work with Tom Ratcher. He's the best ACM

pilot in the world.

He's taught me more stuff than... Tom is
dead.

His plane went down on that training
exercise yesterday.

Thunder to Stone.

Proceeding to rendezvous point Alpha.

I thought it'd be interesting.

This is Buddy.

It's been a long time.

That was pleasant.

Remember the Blackbird Interceptor
project back in 65?

Before my time, sir, it was an old one.
Why? New plane, same weapon.

Weapon. Great.

Hopefully we won't have to use them,
huh?

I don't know about you, but I am ready
to rock and roll.

These comebacks took our plane.

Let's waste them.

We'll get to Nova back without any
international incidents, sir. Good.

I don't mean to sound overly dramatic,
but I don't need to tell you how

important this is.

No, sir.

Good luck.

Thank you, sir.

Thank you.

Connors. Janik, she's prepped and ready
to go.

Like old times, man.

Oxygen pressure, good. Oil pressure,
good. And the fuel is flowing.

We are set to go.

Okay, tower in position.

Ready for takeoff?

Roger. All systems go.

General Barnes, Connors and Janik are
airborne in the SR -71, sir. Radio

frequency is open. All right, Captain.

Spine this thing and blast it.

I got dinner planned tonight, if you
know what I mean.

Orders are to get it back in one piece,
minimum footprint.

Janik, let me be honest with you.

You're the last person I would have
picked to back me up.

You're not a pilot, you're a skydiver.

You bail at the first sign of trouble.

Ancient history, my man.

I got a lot of air under my wings since
then.

Yeah? Well, just remember my life's in
your hands.

And mine in yours, partner.

No joy here, my man.

Turn right, going 259.

Turning right, going 259.

Bingo! CIO imaging of the Nova.

Where? Stand by.

Triangulating Nova position over the
Thar Desert in India.

It'll take five minutes for the fuel
cells to recharge.

Right, Colonel.

Until then, he can't go active.

Blackbird, Edwards.

This is Blackbird. Go ahead.

Vince, we got a fix on the Nova.

27 degrees, 31 minutes north by 69
degrees, 27 minutes east on a heading of

Roger.

Roger that. We're on our way.

Here we go. May have something.

Going infrared.

Take it down for a visual.

Ascending to 45.

We have a positive IR signature in the
Nova stealth fighter.

Move it in for visual contact.

Come on, help me out here. Where's the
visual?

It's hard to maintain a visual at Mach
2. Where is he?

He's right behind us.

Hold on.

He's gone.

Damn it. Where is he?

Base Connors.

This is Edwards. Go ahead.

We lost him in one act of stealth.

Roger, Vince.

What's your status?

Sir, if you want us to continue the
search, we need to refuel.

Vince, there is a 135 in your quadrant.

Okay, I copy that.

Yeah, I have it.

Turning left, .08.

Locked in, Blackbird.

Fueling commencing.

Fueling complete.

Disengaging.

Aren't you guys going to do the windows?

Approaching landing coordinates.

locked in.

Beautiful new Nova plane.

Nice work, Roger.

Not yet.

Where's my money?

Ah, the man with priorities.

I like that.

Pass now.

The rest when we finish our little
bombing mission.

Next time you wear the mask.

Anything?

Negative.

Got something?

Take it to 70 degrees and drop to 30.

70 degrees, drop to 30.

Conserved sign of the Nova.

We've got it in Libya.

Looks to be in some type of structure.

Coordinates 478 by 370. I'll repeat.

Coordinates 478 by 370.

Positive heat signature.

Edward Connors.

Go ahead, Vince.

Jack, locate at the Nova.

Copy that, Vince.

There's a deserted airstrip seven clicks
from those coordinates, sir. The SR -71

can land there.

Thank you, Colonel.

Vince.

Proceed to 8730 .2. You can land there
and avoid enemy detection.

Okay, proceeding to run, Admiral.

Admiral Pendleton, please. General
Barnes.

Admiral Pendleton.

Admiral, we found the Nova on the ground
in Libya.

Copy that.

I'm sending in a pair of men for
recovery.

We need air support and intelligence on
who we're dealing with.

Copy that, Pendleton.

Starting landing site.

Connors Edwards.

Copy. We're working on a tight decision
cycle.

You've got 24 hours to get the plane
back.

What happens then?

A carrier in the Mediterranean will send
in planes.

They'll carpet bomb the area.

That'll start a war, sir.

If we don't get the plane back in 24
hours, they'll have a chance to organize

first strike or duplicate the Nova's
technology.

The Nova throws the balance of power in
their favor with nuclear strike

capacity.

Good luck, men.

What have you got from Interpol on these
people?

Uh, they're all part of a movement. It's
tied to a radical Middle Eastern

terrorist group. A well -funded,
organized op.

Their MO isn't money, it's the
domination of the free world by any

necessary. They'd use a nuclear bomb
without a second thought.

So they plan to nuke us?

I'm afraid that's what we must assume.

We got an airstrip here,

a bridge, a small village.

We're somewhere here.

What are you thinking?

We move to plan B.

I want you to stick with the stealth. I
may need air support.

That's a mean picture.

Wait, wait, wait. You think that's a
good idea?

Well, you got a better one?

Move.

Why don't you give me a few minutes?

Shit.

The plane went down. It's over here.

Stay with the plane. It's a great idea.

Let's go. You go.

And there's no response to radio calls?

None at all, sir.

This is Admiral Pendleton, U .S. Navy.

We've lost all contact with Connors and
Janik. Sir, we've lost radio contact

with Connors and Janik.

According to the CIA, this region is run
by the Gravenestone terrorist group.

They make Bada Meinhof look like a bunch
of schoolyard bullies.

I want everything the CIA has on him.

Right, sir.

About to be out here, huh?

Looks like an American pilot.

So, Mr. Pilot, where's your plane?

I parachuted in.

I'm a skydiver.

You're going to use this, huh?

Always land on my feet.

Bear is the plane.

Why don't you just kiss my ass? I will
kill you.

What are you waiting for, asshole?

is it, Mr. Elias?

We have found the pilot and an American
SR -71.

You found an American SR -71?

Interesting. Another man was found near
the woods.

I'm searching for him now.

Bring in the pilot and the SR -71. I'll
bring it in.

It's being taken care of, Mr. Elias.

CIA made me jump through hoops to this
stuff.

Okay, Batara Stone, son of a wealthy
industrialist, joined the skinhead

at 16 where he met Jose Gravener. Skip
the bios, Colonel.

Okay, CIA has been monitoring terrorist
weapons buys.

Lately, there's been a change in their
methods.

Which is?

Their networking, forming buyers clubs.

What are you telling me, Colonel?

Terrorists are getting 10 % off on their
guns? No, sir. Groups like Gravener

Stone have joined forces to buy weapons
of mass destruction.

No fear at the very least sir. They
could be chemical or biological Pass me

through that my penalty.

Yes, sir This is

Admiral Pendleton us name yes Admiral
Negative

Admiral I don't want to

spook those people into hiding the plane

If our team can't get it back, we'll
have to go ahead with the bombing.

Destroy it and anyone who's seen it.

Copy that.

Thank you, Admiral.

Ah.

Good evening, my friend.

I'm so glad you could make it.

My name is Mr. Stone, and this is my
associate, Mr.

Elias. And your name is?

Asshole.

Yes. Mr. Asshole.

So please tell me, Mr. Asshole.

I have some questions to ask you about
this Nova Stealth fighter plane.

Oh, you just ask away.

You let me know when you are ready to

cooperate. All right?

Let's go.

Elias is on his way.

Don't move.

Put up your hands.

Step away from the door.

Slowly.

Drop the gun.

Drop the bag.

Turn around.

Slowly. Who are you?

Open the door.

One word and I'll kill you. You
understand?

One word.

Look at me.

A minute, please.

What do you want?

We are searching for an American spy.

I am the only one here.

We will see.

This American has killed many of my
patrol.

Look if you want, but there is no man
here.

But you have had men here before, Mila,
haven't you?

That is none of your business.

Everything in this town is my business.

Granger Stone's business.

We have a lot of nice things in this
town, Mila.

I could take them away.

Leave you with nothing.

Except my love for you.

Is this what you are looking for?

Perhaps I can help you find what you
want.

Maybe you would like this.

Yeah, what is it I will be there

You

bought

you she's a dissident cannot be trusted.
Okay, let's go

Nice gun collection.

So you want to know why a woman like me
would have so many guns?

Yeah. Because of this filthy government.

They parcel out our land. They give away
whole towns and villages to these

terrorists. And then they just come in
here and they just take whatever they

want.

So some of us are trying to stop them.

To take the government away from the
military and the terrorists and give

And give it back to the people.

Oh, you were the underground.

I am their leader.

Bring it up, Kurt.

They have it budged.

I don't get it.

11 hours, 52 minutes. There's still
time. Sir.

Are we really going to destroy a $75
million prototype warplane if they fail?

I have no choice, Colonel.

You're insane.

These people will die.

That's the point.

That's what we're counting on.

Finally, you stupid Americans, with your
free market invasion, you will know

what it's like to have your culture
destroyed.

And from the ashes of the corrupt
Western world, we will build a new

civilization.

Our primary target, the Paris beef
docks.

Presidents and premiers from all over
the world will be on hand.

At first, they'll think it's food
poisoning.

But then, within 12 hours, they'll all
be dead.

And thanks to your Nova Stealth fighter
plane, they'll never know what hit them.

which will leave us free to go on to our
second target, the state of Kansas.

What is it you call it?

The heartland?

Well, I hope they appreciate our little
heart attack.

You know, we fly in two days.

It's a pity you'll be dead.

We'll see you'll be dead at all.

Maybe the arrogant...

American pilot knows something that I
don't know.

Maybe a smart man would move his mission
forward.

This is Stone.

Fuel the planes.

We fly this morning.

People are too stupid to fly that plane.

I guess I thought of everything.

I've recently acquired a very gifted
American pilot.

So how is my favorite student?

Shouldn't you have missed your funeral?

It was real touching.

I wasn't talking about you, Richard.

That's my old buddy, Vince Connors.

I need to get to this airstrip right
here.

This is a very difficult region to get
to now.

They have patrols guarding everywhere.
They will be searching for you.

There will be a checkpoint right here.
And another one right here.

Yes, I know. And there's another one
right here.

It's almost morning. I'm running out of
time.

No, this is impossible in the daytime.

You will be captured. They will kill
you.

I will make it through.

It's not what I wanted to hear.

You're being crazy.

Look, in six hours and 28 minutes,
they're going to carpet bomb this place.

know what that means?

You are going to destroy my country.

Yeah.

Yeah.

The decision, thank God, I didn't have
to make.

And I'm sorry.

I'm truly sorry.

I gotta go.

Thank you.

Wait.

My cousin Rojar, he has a fruit truck.

Who is it? It is your cousin, Hebert.

I bring you melon.

Roger.

Roger, Hebert.

Friend, you have American cigarettes.

What are

you

doing?

Selling fresh produce.

Melons, oranges, onions.

Here.

American cigarettes?

No. I go before they spoil.

I

want

these armed and loaded now.

How much longer?

It'll be ready.

Be in the air in one hour.

Hey, tell me, you like American cowboys?

Shut up, Rojar.

What about the checkpoint?

Checkpoint? We drive straight through.

What if they charge the truck?

Then we'll find out if old Bruce got
enough for a boat this time.

Good morning, General.

I have the produce fresh for your
pilots.

I must hurry before the sun will set.

Let me see your papers.

You're not a general. You're a private.

Roger Rebert, produce king.

I deliver produce to the cattle himself.

Hey!

This is for you and your breath.

Let's check your cargo.

Don't take my cargo. Hey!

Don't put your dirty hands on my cargo.

Don't mix up everything.

Chickpeas, carrots, onions.

Don't!

What are they doing?

Only two hours left on the clock, sir.

Is the carrier on station?

Yes, sir. The Admiral has given him the
wing command. He's finally leaving now.

Good.

Sir, I've got the best fighter pilots
waiting for immediate departure on your

command. Our information leads us to
believe the President will upgrade the

situation at DEFCON 3.

Sir, what's our primary target?

Take out the airfield, the hangar, and
any outbuilding in the vicinity.

Yes, sir.

Good luck, Lieutenant.

You may be our last line of defense.

Yes, sir. I'll get my men in the air
immediately.

Get me the President.

The planes are out and they're wide
open.

Yeah.

They probably got Janik in that hangar.

So why you help this man?

Who is he to you? A friend?

Definitely not a friend.

You do not like this man, but you risk
yourself to rescue him.

My partner, I'm not leaving without.

Even if it kills you?

I'd rather die doing what's right than
live doing what's wrong.

You're a good man.

I wish there were more men like you in
my country.

I thought the American cowboy no kiss
girl.

Sometimes they do.

Jerry,

Connors and Janik are still in the area.
I know, Colonel.

They still have two hours left.

We have to give them time to get the
Nova back intact.

If they do, I'll call it off.

If not...

The target is one hour, four, seven
minutes.

Orders are to roast and toast.

No survive.

Ratcher. Guard him! You're both dead!

It's never better.

You shouldn't have come here.

You should have got your ass in that
plane and got the hell out of here.

Life was in my hands, remember?

I didn't tell him anything.

I know.

Can you fly?

Like a bird.

But he covered fire and that Nova's no
UAV.

Vince. Ratchet's alive.

He's told the Nova faked his own death.

How do you know that?

Because I saw the asshole.

He's gonna fly the bombing mission for
them.

He's as sick as they are.

Got more ammo? Let's go.

Come on.

So, this is your day.

the day you die.

Let's start.

Do you know how much I'm getting paid
for this?

This is treason, Rach.

This is treason.

Let's go take back our land.

Attention, G .S. Squadron Leader.

This is G .S. Squadron Leader.

The American has stolen my Nova plane.

Shoot him down.

I repeat, shoot him down. Copy that.
Missile armed and ready.

old friend, Mr. Jenny.

Not so arrogant now, huh?

Time to die, Captain.

Wait.

I got something for you.

Join this lovely party, Captain.

Courtesy of the United States Air...

Lord,

behold the war gag! We did it!

Edwards, this is Black Thunder Connors.
Can you read?

Vince, General Barnes. Go ahead.

General, the good news is I have the
Nova.

I'm at 17 .043 degrees east.

The Tropic of Cancer headed north.

Roger, Vince. Copy that.

What's the bad news?

Carrying two big NBC bombs.

I'm afraid if I take a hit and go down,
I'll take half the continent with me.

Roger, Vince. Stand by one.

You were right, sir. Those bombs have
biological capacity as well as nuclear.

Get me all the information you have on
possible fallout scenarios, Colonel.

Okay, sir.

Vince, we've got a squadron five minutes
east of you.

I can't go east. I've got Ratcher on my
six.

Ratcher? Ratcher's dead.

No, sir. He faked his death. He's a
nobody.

Sorry, sir, I've got to cut you off with
that rapture of the tail.

Repeat, do not shoot. I'm an American
Air Force pilot being chased by

aircraft. You've got to keep Ratcher off
your tail. Help's on the way. Just hold

on for three more minutes.

Give it up, Vincent.

You know I'm the better pilot.

Hey, Ratcher, picked up a few tricks
since then. I think you'll like them.

Tricks?

That's all they are.

They can outfly you in a school bus.

One well -placed hit might take the
whole plane down.

Take Europe down.

Stone's dead, Tom. There's no one to pay
for this.

I've already been paid.

Having cash.

Invest in revenge.

Drop the lug, Vincent, and I'll let you
live.

We can be partners.

Why fly against each other when we can
fly together?

Kill millions of people? Come on, Rats,
for what?

Millions of dollars.

What do you care about those people?

They're my peers, they're nothing.

So small you can't even see them.

If you could get $100 for each one who
died... Sorry, Tom, no deal.

When Nova's shot down over Europe, the
gas will spread like this.

12 hours.

24 hours.

36 hours.

Edwards at Black Thunder, do you read?

Threat neutralized.

I'm on my way home.

Hey, Admiral.

The situation is diffused.

You can call off your boys.

Great, great.

Mike, call off the P3s. The job has been
taken care of.

And damn well taken care of, if I may
say so.

Vince,

great job.

All right, everybody, Connor's got them
this time.

We'll get them next time.

Let's take it home.

Good job, Colonel.

You too, sir.

Welcome back, Vince.

Sorry to hear about Captain Jim.

Sir, he's a good man.

Vince, there'll be a medal in this for
you.

Sir?

Anyone deserves a medal.

Give it to him, sir.

No permission, sir.

I didn't think you could pull it off.

You're damn right, Colonel.

I hate to mention this now, sir, but
there is one more thing.

Yes, what is it?

That SR -71 is still out in the Libyan
desert, sir.

You're right.

And there's only one man who can go in
and get it.

Oh, Vince.
