Another mission of me trying to tribute my favourite game of all times: Ace Combat 5. When I started this project this was the first Ace Combat mission I made, now I upgraded it a little, fixing minor things.

Back on Sand Island, Wardog discovers that its vice commander Allen C. Hamilton is a traitor when he tries to kill them and, failing that, labels them and their mechanic Wolfgang Buchner as traitors instead. Blaze, Nagase, Grimm, Buchner, journalist Albert Gennette, and Chopper's dog Kirk escape Sand Island on four Hawk T.1s, pursued by the 8492nd. Buchner, revealed to be a former Belkan ace, leads the Wardog planes through a nearby island to shake off the pursuers. They eventually escape into the open sea and run into the OFS Kestrel's pilot Marcus Snow. Snow signals them to trust him and bail out, which they do. He then shoots down their planes and declares the Wardog dead, while Sea Goblin helicopters from the Kestrel secretly picks them up.

Have fun!

BRIEFING:

7 dec 2010.

Ceres Ocean.

The veil has fallen. 8492nd Squadron are belkan aces that participated in the Belkan War. Hamilton seems like one of their high ranking officers also infiltrated in the Osean Army.
We, the Wardog Squadron, were accused of being yuktobanian spies. We barely made it out of the base in unarmed Sabre training jets. Blaze, Nagase, Grimm and I in the pilot's seat; and Genette, that war correspondent and Kirk, Lieutenant Colonel Davenport's pet.
The Osean Army received command of destroying us. We no longer have a home to return to with both sides of the war, Osea and Yuktobania, wanting us dead.
The 8492nd Squadron is at our 6' in intercept course. We are close to a volcanic island that we could use to make their job difficult. I'll take the lead and perform some combat maneuvers to evade them, hopefully we will make it out alive by exploiting the intense interferences the island generates.
Captain Marcus Snow, onboard of his F-14, will come to intercept us too. He knows about Hamilton and the belkan aces so if we meet we may have an opportunity of fleeing together.

Lead the Wardog Squadron as Pops and perform low level maneuvers to evade the 8492nd Squadron. Follow your intuition (green gates) to find the safest route to evade their attacks and reach the north part of the island along with Blaze, Nagase and Grimm. If captain Snow (Swordsman) makes contact with us, follow his instructions.
