France VS Nato, Chap 2 (Launch)
(Flagship of 1st fleet Charles de Gaule)
Admiral Joffere was standing inside the carrier's bridge starring at the morining sky. Outside the deck was a beehive of activity. Flight-crews ran all over the place and performed the necssary tasks for an iminant launch of aircrafts. In the middle of the crowd of people were the carriers full complement of Rafale's and super etendards. The 20 Etendards each had two AAM "Magics" and next to them were the far more ominus shapes of ASM 39 "Exocet". The Rafale's on the other hand numbered only 6 and each had 4 AAM "Magics and 4 AAM "Mica's". Each pilot was in his plane and was going over his final checks...
Admiral joffre took one final look at the clear morning sky before turning to the air operations chief and saying in a quiet voice : "commence operation Speed Break"...
Suddenly the loud speakers turned on: "Attention Flight crew operation Speed Break has commenced! I repeat operation Speed Break has commenced! Launch the planes!" Suddenly the Egines on all the planes came alive as if they were only one and the Charles De Gaule was filled with the sound of 32 engines roaring and the crew inside the bridge cringed from the noise but the Admiral stood impassive sttaring at the sky as if nothing had happened...
The young corporal who was part of the Rafale air-superiority squadron broke the silence on the inter-com: "This is Mouette 2 demanding permision to proceed to catapult 1 for imediate Launch."
Launch Controller: "This is Air launch controller permission granted Mouete 2 proceed towards catapult 1 and prepare for launch."
Mouette 2: "Roger control proceeding towards the catapult" The Rafale started to move and in a few seconds reached the catapult were the flight crew-began the task of attaching the catapult to the Rafale's front landing gear, They then proceeded to raising the Heat barriers. While waiting for the all green sign Mouette looked at the picture of his wife and chilled which he had strapped to a panel earlier...Mouette's eyes turned distant as he started to remember memories of long ago...he was forced back into reality by control's shouts on the radio
Air Launch: "Mouette 2 one what are you doing? Mouette 1 and 3 have all-ready launched! We've already given you the all green signal were waiting for your confirmation for take-off."
Mouette 2 looked apologetically at the flight crew who were staring angrily now at him now: "Sorry control? I got a little distracted...mouette 2 ready for take-off." He then straped on his oxygen mask and cleanched his stomach getting ready for what he knew would happen
Air Contol: "Roger Mouette 2. Commencing count-down to launch 10, 9, 8, 7,6,5,4,3,2,1, Zero!"
Mouette 2 suddenly felt himself getting crushed against his seat while the world-around him turned into a giant-blur. The Rafale acelerated from 0 to 120 n/k in just under 2 seconds and climbed up into the sky. Slowly Mouette's vision came-back and he found himself air-born. "Air-speed noramal, altitude normal. Mouette 2 too control, systems all green I'm joining the rest of the squadron."
Control: "Roger Mouette 2. Mouette squadron orbit around the carrier until the raid group take's off and assembles we'll proceed to the target at that moment."
Mouette 2 managed to join the rest of Mouette Squad who were flying around the carrier. "Hey 2 this is 4 what happened down there? you caused a hell of traffic jam down there? Hahahaha!"
Mouette 2: "Damn it 4 it's not funny!" 2 tried to make it sound serious but he still didn't manage to stop the smile the ghosted across his lips for a moment. 4…thought 2. 4 a.k.a. Richard Blanc 'Blanco' as he called him in private went back years ago. He had met Blanco at the 'Academie L'arme de L'air' at Toulouse. Back then he was training to be a Mechanic but then his wife and child died in a car crash. He'd considered suicide after that but it was then that he'd met Blanco. Not only did Blanco bring him out of his depression but it was he who'd convinced him to sign up for fighter training, 2 still didn't know if he'd made the right decision back-then but hey he thought as long as he had Blanco as his friend he'd be happy … "Hey 4 how did your…. " 2 was suddenly cut-off by another person on the radio channel.
Sea Owl: "This is awacs callsign 'Sea Owl' to Mouette squad cut the radio chatter. Requins, Pirannha, and Espadon squads are all air born. Comence your escort mission. The targets are 500 km's to our north. expect hostilities to begin in 40 minutes until then stay low and if you spot anything suspicious contact us. Good Luck."
Mouette 1: "This is Mouette 1 wilco sea Owl were hitting the deck. all planes enter radio silence and follow me."
Mouette 2 dived after the rest of the squad and felt the G's pushing him back into his seat…God I can't wait for this shitty War to be over… he thought as he pulled up at a 100 meters with the rest of the squad.
