FIELDS OF PADDDY

[xiii] Emily!

After a year spent in 1FTS, Flash, MJ and Scout finally graduated on their way and are just two more steps to being a Royal Malaysian Air Force Fighter Pilot. They now are headed for a FLIT or Fighter Lead-In Training with the fast Hawk 108/208 stationed in RMAF Butterworth. When stationed in No. 15 Squadron, the table was turned when Mawar "Scout" S. was the best followed by Alaina "MJ" N. and finally and surprisingly Azfar "Flash" R. Azfar was the last among them because of his absence during the first week due to him catching a cold hindering him from flying.

With only 6 months there, they were now on a decision point of going into the big league either into the No. 11 Squadron flying the Russian made Sukhoi SU-30MKM stationed in Gong Kedak, Kelantan or into the No. 18 Squadron flying the American McDonnell Douglas F/A-18D stationed in Butterworth, Penang.

Surprisingly, Flash, MJ and Scout got into the No. 18 Squadron flying the F/A-18D! Just like Emily Willis, Alaina "MJ" Najwa and Mawar "Scout" Siti Alya were the first females to join the squadron. Azfar "Flash" Raziq on the other hand with his past experience flying the FA-18D in the sim proved his dime and importance in the squadron. Although being more mature now, Flash, MJ and Scout still kept their tradition of dogfighting each other.

After 4 years of flying with the squadron and countless dogfights, Flash, MJ and Scout are now among the best and senior officers in the squadron. Major Alaina "MJ", Major Mawar "Scout" and Lt. Kolonel Azfar "Flash" are what they know now.

On a hot day in RMAF Butterworth, the Five Power Defense Arrangement or FPDA made a visit to RMAF Butterworth. With their F-35A and F/A-18F, they light up the little town of Butterworth with the sounds of GE-F414 and the sounds of freedom. Azfar, Alaina and Mawar were tasked with handling and working with the No. 1 Squadron from Royal Australian Air Force. Among the officers of the No. 1 Squadron was the legend and the beauty Emily "Swat" Willis. Swat was also tasked with helping and mentoring the No. 18 Squadron.

While doing her work, Mawar spotted the legend that is Emily doing her after flight checks. She immediately mentions it to Emily's biggest fans Azfar and Alaina, "Guys, isn't that Emily that you all know and love?"

Alaina and Azfar turned their head in the direction of Emily and said, "Oh my god she is here with us!"

"Emily!"
