Air Regiment Commandant Quon

Quon called for his six MiG-21's to split into two sections of three, and they immediately responded. He was left with a Vietnamese captain and lieutenant in loose trail, each staggered a hundred meters above the MiG before him. The Russian, Aleksandr lvanovic, led an East German and a Polish pilot in a similar formation toward the flight of Mee radar-hunters east of them.

Quon's element was given a new VHF radio frequency, after his pilots had called the switch, and positive identification was verified by the controller, he radioed, "Red Quon requests directions to target."

The response was immediate. "Red Quon, turn to zero five five ... four targets at eight kilometers."

Since the Mee fighters were on the opposite side of the large dark cloud in that direction, Quon advised the controller to provide constant target information. Then, already in a hard turn, with his throttle full forward, he called for his section to prepare for K-13 heat-guided rocket attacks.

He planned to surprise the Mee pilots by using the wispy edges of the cloud for cover.

A draft of air bounced his jet mightily, but he tensed his stocky body and ignored it, continuing to skirt the edge of the cloud, eyes drawn forward in anticipation.

"Is it you, Lokee?" he asked quietly as he double-checked that he was set up to fire K-13 rocket number one.
