Both Liam and Emily were on the tail end of a long flight, having flown all the way from the main base all the way to Malta, which had taken roughly ten hours with the two refueling points and navigating five different Flight Information Regions before finally approaching the airport. The flight had went flawless, with the Tonka handling the expanded ferry range exceptionally well.

Liam looked at his watch and knew they would be coming in to land at the airport in a few minutes. He figured that he'd better wake Emily up before they land otherwise they'll be asking him why his WSO is still asleep during the landing procedure. "Hey Circuit, Earth to Circuit. We're going to be landing in the next couple of minutes." Harry said before switching his radio to talk to Malta Tower.

"Malta Tower, this is Steel four-four, established ILS runway 32." Liam said over the radio. Malta Tower responded, giving him current wind direction and speed before telling Liam that he was cleared to land. "Cleared to land, runway 32, Steel four-four."

Harry lowered flaps and landing gear while gradually reducing throttle as the Tornado accurately tracked both the localiser and the glideslope until they reached the decision altitude. After confirming visual of the runway to Emily, he disabled the autopilot and guided the Tornado to the runway manually. Before touching the tarmac, he flared his Tonka slightly before touching down rear landing gear first before gently lowering the front landing gear onto the runway. He then slowed the Tornado down to taxi speed and left the runway, taxiing to Shattered Steel's flightline and parked it.

Liam made sure to turn the radar off and render it safe before leaving the cockpit. Maybe they would have a chance to get some shut-eye before they had to go back up.
