Into the Bombardment

A Wild Mustang Ride

Mallorie had gotten her career in order as a pinup model. She had decided to pay her fiance a visit in South Africa, while he was still fighting in the Great South African Conflict.

Currently, Drago Zhukovsky was mounting his fifty caliber gun pod to his F-82G "Twin Mustang" with the help of a few fellow mercenaries; the gunpod was being mounted to the inner-wing area of the Twin Mustang, between the two aircraft fuselages.

Seeing that the gun pod was done being welded onto the plane, Drago wiped sweat from his face, thanking his comrades for the help, feeling jovial that he can now get into head-on engagements with almost any prop fighter in existence and win, he took a picture of the plane with its gun pod on it.

Suddenly, he checked his text messages, to see Mallorie has notified him that she is coming for a visit, he felt ten times as jovial as he was thirty seconds ago.

Curious, he asked Mallorie when she would be arriving to the base, curious to know, she did not respond.

Twelve hours had passed; and Drago was waiting in his bunks for Mallorie at about nine o'clock in the morning. It was currently sunny out; and was scorching hot outside. When the barracks door opened, Mallorie was present, her blue eyes shining, and plump cherry red lips smiling, while her wavy long blonde hair was glistening. She had on a lovely black dress that accented her full figure. In Drago's green eyes, she was the most beautiful woman in the world, bar no other woman he has ever met.

The two slowly walked to each other, embracing tightly; bracing for a kiss. When the two kissed, they truly felt a mutual love for one another.

The two stopped kissing, looking into each other's eyes, they both then made a promise to each other, that they would always be loyal to one another.

Drago then asked Mallorie a question, asking her if she wanted to go to the bombardment with him. She blinked, blankly staring at him, letting out an awkward chuckle. She agreed to go with him to the bombardment, and experience a real dog fighting scenario.

Drago walked over to the wardrobe in his barracks, and opened it, revealing a G-suit for an average height, full-figured woman. He looked at Mallorie with a big smile prompting her to put it on, to where she slipped her curves into the suit, putting on an "Ace of spades" flight helmet.

Drago did the same, slipping his athletic body into his G-suit, and putting on his helmet, which fit him perfectly.

The two then embraced hands, and walked to where his planes were parked. His hand was tightly laced into Mallorie's petite hand. As they walked up the the Twin Mustang, Drago climbed onto the portside wing of the plane; opening the heavy fighter's canopy for Mallorie, giving her his hand and helping her onto the plane, he watched her carefully slip her body into the cramped cockpit of the Twin Mustang, closing the canopy for her, and locking it tightly to make sure it won't open mid-flight, telling her to lock it from the inside, hearing a loud click noise.

He then jumped off of the Twin Mustang's portside wing, walking to the Starboard wing, and opening the canopy, slipping into the cockpit of the heavy fighter, and closing the teardrop-shaped canopy of the plane, inserting the key into the magneto and twisting it counter-clockwise.

As the spark plugs sparked, the twin Allison V-1710 twelve cylinder engines made an intimidating growl to life. He checked the oil pressure and temperature gauge, reading optimal pressure and temperature. He then checked the fuel gauge while turning on the carburetor heaters, the fuel tank was full, with no water in it, he then checked engine temperature, which was warming up as the plane was settling at the proper RPM to a steady gurgling growl; while he changed the prop pitch, the propellers changed the direction they were pointing in, blowing more air into the direction of the plane's cockpit. He looked over at Mallorie, who was blowing him a kiss, Drago smiled and looked down, applying pressure to the rudder pedals, and looking behind him to see the rudders were in optimal condition, gently applying force to the joystick to the left and then to the right looking both ways, to see the ailerons were in working condition, to which he moved the joystick up and down and looked behind him to see the elevators were working.
