lt has since been
modified by the Air Force...
:23:04
... to study transferring
bomber crews at altitude...
:23:08
...as well as other...
:23:10
. . .contingencies.
:23:11
We`ve had six hookups,
all successful.
:23:15
This is a civilian airliner.
:23:18
Mr. Cahill. . .
:23:19
...do you mean Remora could work
with a 747?
:23:24
This application was never
intended for a civilian airliner.
:23:29
However, smooth-surface mating tests...
:23:32
... were successful in a wind tunnel.
:23:34
A wind tunnel.
:23:37
l know you wrote the book on
assaulting hijacked aircraft.
:23:41
But this is 5 miles above Earth.
:23:44
Under the circumstances,
we don`t have any other options.
:23:49
lt`s your call.
:23:50
We must be airborne in an hour,
six men. l`ll need Mr. Cahill. . .
:23:55
... to supervise the linkup.
:23:58
Mr. Cahill. ..
:23:59
... you and the Remora
be ready in an hour.
:24:04
The press is in a feeding
frenzy about the hijacking.
:24:08
Especially with Senator Mavros
on board.
:24:11
Not a word of this operation
is to go beyond this room.
:24:16
Anything you need, name it.
:24:19
We`ll need all the on-site intel
we can get.
:24:23
l think Mr. Grant could
provide us with a great advantage.
:24:27
And l`d just love to
have him come along.
:24:33
You ready to take a plane ride. . .
:24:35
. . .in the interest of national security?
:24:40
Of course.
