Code Name Angelique

Spymaster extraordinaire, Angelique Dawson and her team are at the Ukuthula Ranch runway in Northern Mozambique. She has a 51-year-old Soviet Era Yak-14 military glider combined with a tug, an even older Lisunov Li-2 (the license-built Soviet DC-3 / C-47) to test an exciting new application to use military gliders in modern Special Operations.

There are many positives to the concept, the Yak-14 is silent on approach, not visible on radar and delivers 35 men with pinpoint accuracy. She is not explaining much to her future husband and former Police Special Forces Company Commander, Geoffrey Foxtrot, the narrator who is trying to keep her safe and wondering what else she is up to.

The flights are dangerous, the concept has not been proven, and she insists to push the old glider to its limits in height, speed, and distance. The presence of three female Mossad Agents is also worrisome, wherever they are, and Angelique is, trouble awaits someone or something.

And then there is the presence of Foxtrot himself, widely acknowledged as “Jonah Foxtrot, the angel of death” to any airframe, yet Angelique insists that he flies with her.
