Location
Cannon Air Force Base
Cannon Air Force Base erupts from New Mexico's sun-baked flats, throbbing heart of the 27th Fighter Wing where F-16s claw skyward. Runways scar the earth, hangars swallow squadrons primed for war—but one rogue Viper slips leash, radio silent, belly full of 20mm fury and Sidewinder heat-seekers. Isolation amplifies dread: defection whispers or pilot blackout? From this distant bastion, crisis hurtles toward Washington, scrambling interceptors and presidential resolve in a chain reaction of aerial brinkmanship.
