- Beofre we start here is an inspirational message from our leaders :

Our courage, dedication, and skill against the enemy have won the gratitude of the mother country. It is more vital now than ever that we do not weaken, but meet each challenge with renewed energy and resolve.

It's a long way to the patrol zone - over 100 miles - so I used the opportunity to get in some formation practice. Several attempts later (I kept crashing into my wingmen) we reached the bridge and spent quite some time dogfighting. Fuel was a problem and as the manual suggests - I needed to activate "unlimited fuel".

A long dogfight ensues - it all seems a little sedate though.
