Another mission of me trying to tribute my favourite game of all times: Ace Combat 5.
The mysterious benefactor who sent encrypted messages to the Kestrel is revealed to be Captain Bartlett, who escaped from imprisonment and joined the Yuktobanian resistance. This time, he needs the Razgriz to cover his escape from Yuktobania with the freed Prime Minister Nikanor. The squadron travels to the Pobeda Peninsula and clears the way for Bartlett, before confronting and shooting down the Grabacr Squadron.

BRIEFING:
Captain Bartlett has rescued Prime Minister Nikanor of Yuktobania. He plans to attack an airfield in northeast Yuktobania, steal an airplane, and then escape with the Prime Minister. First, go to the directed area and wait for contact from Captain Bartlett. He'll likely have you support him as he forces his way into the airfield. More mission details will be supplied to you upon arriving at the local airspace. Threat status in the area of operation is unclear, so prepare your flight for the possibility of threats from both the ground and the air.
