Once I was at the flight deck I quickly ran to my plane which had a small lader next to it. After climbing up I opened the canopy and juped into the cockpit of the jet. After closing the cockpit back up some of maintmence and weapons cew came to my plane and loadd it with AIM-120 AMRAAM and AIM-9X Sidewinder air to air missiles. After that they reloaded my Super Hornet's Vulcan 20mm cannon. When they were done I booted up the plane's electronics after turning on the APU. Next I pulled the engine start knobs and switched off the APU. When the engines were fully activated I puhed the enngine start switches back into place and began to taxi to Catapult one for takeoff. When I was in place I waited for them to prepare the catapults for takeoff. Then I remebered that I was going to fly into a place where almost all the people in the skies and on the ground would want to kill me. The only friends I had were coalotion pilots. Right in the middle of my thughts I heard over the radio that I as ready to go and I am to do a salute towards the shooter to tell them to launch the plane. I set my flaps to full and then set my engines to maximum thrust with full afterburner. When the engines were ready I gave my salute to the shooter. Right that instant I was hurled off the chartist deck at over 150 miles per hour. I retracted my landing gear, turned off my afterburner and flew off into the darkness.
