Quote: CATACLYSMAL (A. Glass 2017)
“Alright radio silence, switching completely to CONECT systems. EWO officer please check and confirm,” Captain Frank Ravas says as he and his co-pilot Wilson Hansen, begin to move the large bomber right along the flight path that will take the B-52H and its crew on a North West route parallel to the East, as they fly by North Korea, China and the disputed Russian Kuril Islands also claimed by Japan. Staying within the designated mission to Eielson Air Force Base in Alaska.
“Radio silence confirmed, all Combat Network Communications are set, ALR monitoring of the Eastern side. It's all clear.”
“Thank you...in two hours we check for mission parameters updated via SATCOM. All I ask, is that we all keep our eyes peeled for encrypted messages coming through that...” Captain Ravas points metaphorically at the readouts in-front of him within the darkened cockpit, illuminated only by the communication and recently upgraded flight systems. "...if this doesn't pick it up. We'll have to go old school style." Referring to the Tactical Data Links.
