MISSILE LAUNCH

MISSILE LAUNCH

 

Radar lock on, a growl in your ear means the missile sees the Mig,

now a 6 g’s turn and press the tit, see the Sidewinder dart towards the

enemy. For this is his time to die, his seconds tick away like so many

grains of sand in the hour glass.

As the solid fuel rocket motor speeds the missile to Mach 3 the Mig,

your Mig, flies for his life. A crazy turn into range seals his fate,

g-force building up, horizon tumbling madly, this time he gives it his best.

Will American or Russian technology win or lose? Will a pilot and plane die?

The Mig defeats the missile in his life-saving gamble but two more are on the way.

Only his faith in an outlawed God can save him now.
