'You'll also be trained and evaluated by civilian specialist. They are our best source of information on the enemy aircraft. One of the most qualified is call sign, Charlie, with a Ph.D. in astrophysics. Listen to her, because the Pentagon listens to her about your proficiency. All yours, Charlie.' Jester introduced a woman,

She walked up through the aisle, when she turned around I recognised her. She was the woman Maverick was with last night. I bumped Caesars shoulder who gave me a knowing look. I saw Maverick and Goose in front of us also realising it. I tried to keep a straight face.

'Hello.' She noticed me and gave me a small smile, seeming impressed. 'We will be dealing with F-5's and A-4's as our MiG simulators. Now, then, as most of you know, the F-5 doesn't have the thurst-to-weight ratio that the MiG-28 has, and it doesn't bleed energie below 300 knots, like the MiG-28.' Charlie explained, I took the necessary notes.

'However the MiG-28 does have a problem with it's inverted flight tanks. It won't do a negative-G pushover.' I noticed Maverick and Goose whispering about something. 'The latest intelligence tells us the most it'll do is.' She stopped for a second looking at Maverick and Goose. 

'Excuse me, luitenant. Is there something wrong?' She asked them raising her eyebrows at them. 'The data on the MiG is inaccurate.' Oh my god, what is he talking about. 'How's that?' Charlie asked Maverick, slightly confused. 'Well, I just happened to see a MiG,' Goose interrupted him. 'We.' 

'Sorry Goose.' He said looking at him. 'We  happened to see a MiG- 28 do a four G negative dive.' 'Where did you see this?' Charlie questioned him. 'That's classified, I'd tell you, but than I'd have to kill you.' He said. Why on earth does he say that type of shit to instructors. 

'I have a top secret clearance.' She replied. 'The pentagon sees it that I know more than you.' 'Well it doesn't seem to be in this case.' She sighed. 'So, where exactly were you?' She asked him. 'We started up on his six. When he pulled through the clouds I went above him.' Maverick explained.

'If you were directly above him, how could you see him?' 'Because I was inverted.' He said. 'Bullshit.' Iceman said, covering it up with a cough. I laughed at his reaction. 'No he was man it was a really great move.' Goose said to Iceman.

'You were in a four G negative dive with a MiG-28?' Charlie interrupted them. 'Yes ma'am' 'At what range?' She asked. 'About two meters.' He said looking at Goose who said. 'More about one and a half. I have a great poloraid of it.' 'It was a great picture.' Maverick complimented him.

'Luitenant.' Charlie said getting Maverick's attention. 'What were you doing there?' She questioned. 'Communicating.' 'Keeping up foreign relationships.' they said. 'I was you know, giving him the bird.' Maverick explained. 'You know the finger.' Goose said flipping her off. 

I laughed at his action. 'Yes I know the finger Goose.' 'I hate it when it does that, I'm sorry.' Goose acted like his finger had a mind of it's own. 'So you were the one.' Charlie concluded, still talking to Maverick. 'Yes, ma'am.' He said, with a bit of arrogance. 

'Alright we have a hop to take.' Jester interrupted the whole scene. 'The hard deck will be ten thousand feet, there will be no engagement below that!' He warned. 'Move it!'

I grabbed my stuff and stood up. I glanced at Iceman who was standing beside me, staring at me with a slight grin on his face. 'Hi darling.' He greeted me. 'Hello Ice.' i smiled at him. 'You not hungover from last night?' He asked. 'Nah, I didn't drink that much.' I replied, shrugging. 'Besides, I had to be ready for this training session.'
