The 24 sleek F-4XE Super Phantoms approached the Binarian Base, Hayden Air Force base, their slick black and grey paint jobs with the Calizorinstanian roundel make them look distinctive. The lead pilot was Lt. Henry Arnold, the son of the current President of Calizorinstan. He scanned out the window and he said on the radio "Hayden Tower, this is Bulldog Flights One, Two, and Three, we request permission to land at Hayden over."

His wingman, Lt. Charlie Duke, looked just slightly nervous, this was the first cross international flight he had done in the F-4XE Phantom. It was a relatively new aircraft type, having entered the inventory 5 years ago. It was meant in a non-stealth air to air/ground role. It supplemented the F-15E "Mudhen", in units that had not transitioned to the F-15 Eagle airframe yet. Such as this squadron.

But he was excited as well, they would be flying in several nations, in several exercises.

"Bulldog Flights One, Two, and Three, This is Hayden Control. Permission granted. Over." Air Controler Paul Kersey responded.

On the Tarmack, a ceremonial guard made up of the base security forces. With M-8 Battle rifles at their shoulders and .475 Wildey Magnums in their holsters. In front of them, stood the base's fighter squadron, the 357th Strike Fighter Squadron, commanded by Captain Andrew Tanner.

OOC: Henry is a Lt.Col, I accidently made him a lieutenant.

One at a time the majestic F-4XE Phantoms landed on the runway of Hayden Air Force Base, and Lt.Col Henry Arnold's bird was the first to park on the tarmac. He turned off the engines of the F-4XE Phantom, and opened the canopy, and he and his back seater Lt. Ray Parker, clambered down the ladder of the F-4XE and as soon as the squadron had parked, went to meet the members of the 357th.

Lt. Col Henry Arnold approached the squadron commander and he said, holding out his right hand "I'm Henry Arnold, commander of the 163rd Fighter Squadron."

The rest of the Phantoms taxied in, and when they came to a stop, the crews clambered down the ladders to join their squadron commander to meet the 357th Strike Fighter Group.
