The plan was for Exeter to take out two Learjets as both were in range. Sadly the first bird failed to fly, but the second did and blew the tail off the Learjet and it spirraled down like a leaf. The screams of the crew were recorded in Fearless. I've not heard it but folks I know that have all said the same thing - "Good riddance!". It was a well laid trap by COMAW. BZ
