Fire Birds

:03:35

We were working with local
military anti-drug forces...

:03:38

a search and destroy
mission on cocaine labs.

:03:42

Lt. Dobbs and I had trained
local pilots in Cobras...

:03:44

for their own
strike forces.

:03:46

This is Snake Two...

:03:48

entering sector 4079.

:03:50

Advise operations
of our position.

:03:52

Wilco, Dobbs.
How's the view up front?

:03:56

I'll be glad
when we get out of this canyon.

:04:01

I was flying wing
with Captain Tejada.

:04:03

Lt. Dobbs,
the other American...

:04:05

was with
Captain Mendez.

:04:07

Between the 2 Cobras was
a Black Hawk helicopter...

:04:11

with a support team
of American...

:04:14

and South American
D.E.A. agents.

:04:16

It was our
4th mission as a team.

:04:18

We were entering
a new sector.

:04:21

It was rumored
among the locals...

:04:23

that this was an area
of offensive cartel activity...

:04:26

but we were
used to such rumors.

:04:28

We were 5 miles
from the objective...

:04:31

when we saw the Scorpion
attack helicopter.

:04:35

Dobbs, bogey at your 12:00!

:04:39

Dobbs!

:04:42

Black Hawk,
get the hell out of there.

:04:46

The Black Hawk
began evasive action...

:04:49

but the Scorpion
was too fast...

:04:52

heavily armed,
and hard to find.

:04:55

The pilot was
the best I'd ever seen.

:04:59

I tried to pull the Scorpion
away from the Black Hawk...
