Ace and Dogfight return to the Flagg from a recon mission over Benzheen, their plane shot up. When Hawk believes Cobra is up to something, he sends out Capt. Jeffries and Slipstream to do an aerial recon using the stealth X-19 fighter and found out what's going on. When they return, they bring back photographic proof to Hawk that Cobra's new agreement with the Emir called for establishing Terror Dromes on-site, which Hawk uses to his advantage later on (off-panel) vs. Cobra.
