"Roger that, Stripetail. Major Lockie out," Major Lockie replied as the fuel lines were disconnected.
"Stripetail, this is Captain Fairchild, we cannot use fuel from the cruise liners and our ammunition is limited to what we have on wing," Captain Fairchild said.
Major Lockie opened his rear hatch to let the ordnancemen clean and reload his weapons. "That means we must be judicious with our ammunition. No warning shots, no practice sessions and no more shots than needed. As for fuel, we'll fly as slow as possible - just enough to avoid stalling. Eltee, that means no afterburners or supersonic flight."
