Current distance to objective 1 20 km.
Ten minutes elapsed since engaging enemy.
Confirmed six hostiles shot down, two remaining.
I've got one on my tail!
He's at four o'clock! Kim! I've got one on my tail!
He's at four o'clock! Kim! Where? I can't see him!
Below you! Below you! Where? I can't see him!
Below you! Below you!
Flare! Flare! Flare!
I have none left!
I'll run him off from the left! I have none left!
I'll run him off from the left!
No good! I can't shake him!
An Unyielding Spirit in Lipstick
My pylons and my 20mm are completely tapped out! Hoover?
Same here!
Campbell!
Not so much as a burp when I pull the trigger!
Oh no!
Their fuel status should be questionable too!
We'll get away somehow!
Campbell! We'll back Kim up!
Okay!
No good! I can't shake them!
Kim, keep going straight!
I'll lock on to give him a surprise!
Tango-Red, this is Double-Echo. It's a fresh aircraft.
Who's it coming after?
It's not me!
Not coming this way either! It's not me!
Not coming this way either!
Is it Kim?
It's all over.
Kim, you okay?
I'm fine.
The real question is, who fired that missile?
Look out!
Even a soloist on an aerobatic team would blanch at that move.
Oh, I intended it just as a simple hello.
They're back.
Just when things were getting good!
Well, off to work!
Well then, who's the newcomer this time?
A woman?!
But she still needs to respond correctly with the identification code at least.
What if I had shot her down by mistake?
Oh, dear! The little boy's saying he'll shoot me down?
Little... Little boy?!
I don't like your choice of words. Don't treat me like a child!
And just what is a woman doing in a fighter plane?
Something wrong with that?
What's important in air combat isn't your gender or how big your biceps are.
It's having two good eyes.
Will you show me where Commander Saki is?
Why should l?
Who was it who drove off all those MiGs for you?
Hey, why not?
It... It's this way.
The bastards are attacking even merchant vessels indiscriminately,
so no ships at all can get near the port.
I'm checking to see if they can't take it apart for us somehow and carry it in by air.
Sorry, but can you wait just a bit more for the plane you ordered?
Don't push! Hey!
McCoy! Roses! Got any roses?
Jewelry, I want jewelry!
What's the story with you guys?
A WOMAN!
As for special treatment...
I don't need any, Sir.
I only volunteered in order to swat down that swarm of flies.
Very well.
I'll approve your posting.
Give her a room.
If you'll excuse me, Sir.
Kitri!
Just, well...
Don't forget to lock your door when you go to bed.
Barracks doors don't have any locks on them in the first place, do they, Commander Saki?
Kitri Parvaneh...
So we've got another strong-spirited one.
Yeah, she's grown up to be awfully unruly.
She's my uncle's daughter.
So I can't even fly now, let alone get back to Japan.
Hey!
Won't you accept this?
I'll give you my treasure, a desert rose!
Thanks...
I'll give you the finest oils as a gift!
I've got a diamond!
So many...
That guy's Shin Kazama. He's Japanese.
And his skills?
Top-notch!
As luck would have it though, he was shot down not too long ago.
I see...
Oh! As a token of our new friendship...
Hey, here!
Hundreds of bouquets of roses...
The glitter of thousands of jewels...
Everything grows dim before your radiance.
If you're going to talk to a lady,
before you get to the picking out a present stage,
start by taking a shower, okay?
Not bad, I guess.
Will you tell me something?
How does it feel to take enemy fire?
It's okay to ask, right?
I mean, I 've never once had the experience of being shot down.
No point coming all the way here from far away just to get shot down, right?
Nobody's as uncouth as fighter pilots on the ground.
There will be a briefing regarding our next operation.
All personnel assemble in the briefing room at 21 00 hours. That is all.
Hey, do all East Asians have such mysterious eyes?
They look so far into the distance.
I wonder if you're thinking about a girlfriend you left behind in your country or something?
Then again, a knight who's lost his steed doesn't look right.
Hey, are you listening?
My Don Quixote of the sands...
Tomorrow, beginning at sunset,
the regular military will commence a large-scale operation
to subdue the land-based threat from Sierra Lima, northeast of this area.
Our task is to complete the neutralization of the air defenses in advance of this,
and secure air superiority.
What's that all about?!
You've got to be kidding!
Saki...
You're telling us to poke around in the thicket first,
because it'd be bad if those nice boys got bitten by something?
Precisely.
Hah! You think we're gonna play the part of errand boys like that?
I regret to inform you that all personnel will participate in this operation.
However, Kazama, who is without an aircraft, will be an exception.
And Kitri, I'll have you stay back as well.
Before beginning operational activities,
first priority is for you to learn the navigational landmarks.
That will be all. Dismissed.
Anyone ranked flight commander and above stick around.
Tower, Tango-Red One, in sequence zero-three.
Wind three-seven-niner at five knots.
Tango-Red, cleared for takeoff.
Time to make some money.
I wonder when the ace is going to be back?
Orders to hit a bunch of guys crawling around on the ground?
I would've said no to that anyway!
Kitri?!
They're moving fast.
Hostiles have penetrated past the SAMs.
This is the apron. Kitri has begun taxiing!
Does she intend to go out alone?
I haven't approved this sortie! Stop this, Kitri!
I think I told you already that I came to swat down that swarm of flies.
Kitri has taken off.
Call out Kazama!
There are seven enemy aircraft!
There's nothing you can do alone! Get back here, Kitri!
Who wants the first kiss?
We didn't get the missiles in time.
Your only munitions will be the 20mm. Is that enough?
That'll be fine.
Good!
Oh, and be sure you're careful about sudden turns at low speeds.
Out of the way, Old Man!
Don't rush me like that!
This is Shin Kazama, zero-zero section.
I'm going up.
You're mine.
It sucked something in!
I can't get any boost!
Dammit!
One's coming.
I don't need to be told! One's coming.
I don't need to be told!
Normally, I'd have been able to give him the slip ages ago.
But I can't shake him off!
Kitri!
I ncrease your altitude, Kitri! You're too low!
It's impossible! Ditch the aircraft and eject, Kitri!
I'll put it down ; watch me!
I never imagined there was a pilot who could shoot down an Atoll with a 20mm.
Confirmed: hostiles have withdrawn.
She didn't block the runway.
That girl really knows her stuff.
Welcome back!
How was it to be back up in the sky?
Having your wings torn off is the worst feeling!
Even so, you came back alive.
If you get both feet back on the ground, you can take wing again.
You're an intriguing person.
Wait a minute!
It's against my nature to be indebted to anyone!
People will be buying tons of booze to drown their sorrows today!
I guess I'll pull all I have out of the warehouse.
Not bad, I guess.
The thoughts of a friend who betrayed...
The thoughts of the man betrayed...
The love of a woman waiting for a man who does not return...
The loneliness of each gains new wings and soars into the sky,
and the courses of their fates intersect sadly in the far reaches of the heavens.
This is Area 88,

where the hazy hope in the distance sinks into the blue sky of sorrow.
