Mama Bird was backed into the big central hanger, her rear ramp down at the edge of the big aircraft elevator. Loadmasters were reloading the new M200/A. Jill and Mike were watching with Kit.
"So that's the new fast fighter. Just nose gun, right?" she asked Kit.
"Yep, do over five hundred knots with that fifth nacelle. And with the new coil gun, it'll be like having both cannon and a multiple shot laser guided LAW with twenty times the penetration power. It's a bad dude."
"I guess I'll get to practice flying that little puppy while we're on USS Iwo Jima."
"You guess right. And you'll be in command of the Iwo unit,"
"Do my best," said Jill.
"I know you will," responded Kit.
Mike and Jill embraced.
"Watch your six, girl," Mike said as they hugged.
"I've done this before, Cowboy, you watch yours."
The Loadmasters reloaded the four newly modified M600/A Skycars® back into the massive cargo bay of the C-5M and then closed the ramp.
