AlR BOSS JOHNSON:
Gentlemen, this is bull's eye.
1:27:11
The communications ship,
S.S. Layton...
1:27:13
has become disabled and wandered
into foreign territory.
1:27:17
A rescue operation
is to begin within the hour.
1:27:20
Your mission is to give
air support to that rescue.
1:27:24
There are MlGs in the area,
and tensions are high.
1:27:26
If you witness a hostile act,
you will return fire.
1:27:30
Those MlGs carry
the Exocet antiship missile.
1:27:34
They can fire them
from 100 miles away.
1:27:36
Gentlemen,
this is the real thing.
1:27:38
This is what
you've been trained for.
1:27:41
You are America's best.
1:27:43
Make us proud.
1:27:45
-lce.
-Yes, sir.
1:27:46
-Hollywood.
-Yes, sir.
1:27:47
Sector 2.
1:27:48
Maverick, you back them up
with Merlin on ready five.
1:27:52
Yes, sir.
1:27:55
Rise!
1:27:58
Excuse me, sir.
1:28:00
This is not personal...
1:28:01
but with regard to Maverick,
is he the best--
1:28:04
JOHNSON: I know what you're
thinking. Just get on it.
