Where Few Else Dare No.2 The Long Flight

First Lieutenant Christine Redding, U.S. Air Force, had no idea that a simple gesture to the pilot in an escorting U.S. Navy F/A-18 Super Hornet fighter, would bring her to the brink of a formal military court martial. The gesture she gave, admittedly a rude one, was out of desperation when returning from a mission deep into southern Libya. Her aircraft, a classified F-15ET fighter bomber, developed from the famous and formidable F15E Strike Eagle, had been extensively damage, and she literally had no radios and no time for diplomacy. If found guilty, she could lose her wings.
Along with her commanding officer, Colonel Steven Henderson, Chris is to report to a U.S. Senator in Hawaii and explain her case. The simple arrangements to get there from Washington DC seem straight forward. However, at the same time as the two of them travel from Washington to Hawaii, U.S. security teams on the east coast are trying to work out where a four-man terrorist hit team has gone. They simply vanished off the face of the earth. As well as the U.S. authorities, Israeli Mossad agents are also tracking several Iraqi men who are planning some type of plot against Iran or possibly a U.S. aircraft carrier in the Gulf. There is concern that the very unstable powder keg of the Middle East could explode, yet again.
Under the precise direction and planning of the very capable Colonel Grigory Mikhail Kelenchov, formerly of the Soviet Air Force, the four-man Iraqi terrorist team in the U.S., easily crosses from the U.S. east coast to Las Vegas by bus and boards the same flight to Honolulu, Hawaii, that Chris and Steve are on. Honolulu is where the strike by the team against the U.S. will take place and the Middle East explosion will initiate.
The problems and uncertainty of a court martial, and her career, fade into the background as Chris and Steve, along with several others, end up facing certain death when the terrorists strike and take over the plane they are on. With Steve at her side, they fight for their lives and the lives of the two hundred passengers and crew on board the Boeing 767 airliner. At the same time, the U.S. government activates all the resources it can to help. Will it be enough? Will Steve’s and Chris’ close bond of friendship help or hinder? The hijacking literally pushes the plane to its limits and plunge it from 34,000 feet towards the dark ocean below in a matter of seconds one moment, and into tight aerobatics in another. As well as this, Steve and Chris also must contend with a massive Pacific storm which pounds the plane. You are literally at the controls in the cockpit of the B767 as Chris and Steve make each life and death decision. The drama, action and demands, never seem to end.
