Kerry flew upwards, avoiding the opponent's noses to the best of his ability, however, the tell-tale sound of a missile being launched behind him put a sinking feeling into his stomach. Rolling to the right, the missile stayed with him, a heat-seeker, of course.

A few seconds thinking, and then the welcome sound of other squaddies arriving, and Kerry had a plan.

Roland attempted to talk him into leaving, from the sounds of it, he wasn't doing to well himself. But Kerry was having none of it, he smirked behind his breath-mask, pushing hard on the controls, he pushed the plane to it's limits. [color=0054a6]"Negative sir, this plane can still handle itself yet!"[/color]

The problem flap made a screeching noise, before it popped into position. [i]'Two second delay, I can work with that'[/i] Kerry preformed a maneuver that he had never done before in an actual combat situation, a [url=https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/0/0a/Aeros_fig_revhalfcuban8.svg]reverse-half cuban eight.[/url] Having to over-compensate for the faulty flap caused Kerry a lot of worry, but he completed the manuver successfully, going up and over the missile, and now in position to back up Roland.

[color=0054a6]"The guys on my tail are the least of my worries, you aren't fighting all of those guys alone!"[/color] Kerry calmly yet loudly said into his radio. Focusing his fire on the bomber, he shot his HMGs at it's left wing, hoping to sever it and send the pilot careening into the ground, before peeling to the left, to avoid the bomber's cannons, and also to make sure the missile wasn't gaining on him.

[i]'Phase one complete, time to take this seriously.'[/i] Kerry's brow furrowed, and he felt filled with determination.
