The United States had spent billions building a flying force in Afghanistan to give Kabul an edge over Islamic insurgents.

They also had the added caveat of being a defensive team unlike anything Gonzaga has seen, a flying force of springy, quick-footed defenders.

But fed by double-digit budget hikes, the nation’s flying force, like its naval and land counterparts, has modernized its arsenal from the days when it depended on Soviet castoffs.

This was the flying force that threatened us from the West, directed by Burgoyne.

And at that instant, under Colonel Barry St. Leger, the Western flying force of the enemy was being marshalled at Buck Island.
