The afterburner’s roar faded to a whisper as Maverick banked the F/A-18E over the Sierra Nevada. Below, a dry lakebed cracked like old pottery, and beside him, Rooster flew wingtip-to-wingtip. It wasn't a mission. It was a dare.
“You sure about this, old man?” Rooster’s voice crackled through the comm, laced with equal parts skepticism and suppressed excitement.
Rooster’s reply was quiet. “He would’ve loved that.” A pause. “Thanks, Mav.”
