Yuna waited patiently as the first stages of their operation came to life. Jefe's missile call meant the rest of the squadrons was moments away from being unleashed against the enemy. Like clockwork, the radar kill call came next, followed by Heartbreak saying the magic words.

The radio squawk Yuna had been patiently waiting for finally arrived, and she spared no time. Her left hand had been ready at the throttle, eager to slam it forward. As soon as Yuna heard Heartbreak's callout, her left hand pinned the throttle forward while she called out [color=lightcoral]"Calico, engaging!"[/color] in response. Her primary targets were the enemy fighters on the ground, and while a dogfight would be fun, she didn't want to give any of them a chance to even get off the ground.

As Scott's flight began to rain hell on Limosa, Yuna was about to do the same to Lampedusa. They had 8 fighters including 4 Mirages, and she hoped she could take out the more capable fighters first. As her Su-33 approached Lampedusa, Yuna plunged her Flanker down to a few hundred feet above the water. Even though Jefe had taken out their eyes, those Shilkas could still cause plenty of problems. The Lampedusa airport sat on the southeast edge of the island, and Yuna had moved south early so that she was approaching at the runway heading. If she had wanted to land, she'd be right on the money...assuming she was going a few hundred knots slower.

As she closed in on the airport, the HUD on Yuna's Su-33 lit up with targets. Among those was a Mirage already entering the west end of the runway to take off. To their credit, they had responded quicker than she expected. [color=lightcoral]"Not on my watch,"[/color] Yuna muttered as she selected her R73E missiles. She got a solid lock just as the Mirage began its takeoff roll, heading straight for her. Its pilot would see everything. With a squeeze of the trigger and a call of [color=lightcoral]"Fox Two!"[/color], Yuna let an R73E fly, and it headed straight for the rolling Mirage. In moments the missile connected with its target, and a fiery explosion erupted on the runway.

Before she needed to peel off, Yuna had time to get one more shot off, but not a lot of it. She snapped her attention to another Mirage getting ready to taxi, swiftly targeted it, and got a solid lock in moments. She let out another [color=lightcoral]"Fox Two!"[/color] as the second R73E left its pylon. She yanked the stick hard left to peel off, not seeing the results of her second strike. But, it would be easy enough to survey the results on the next run, and someone else from her flight had to have seen it. She began to setup another run, this time moving wide past the airport to attack from the opposite end of the runway.
