The strip has three holes in it, the fuel may be dirty, and a compound forty miles away is counting.
Mortars hit Binh Thuy as Cormack starts his takeoff roll. He gets the Bronco stopped past a new crater, and then the count begins: holes in the strip, the taxi route shut, the spare-parts airframe destroyed, one fuel bladder gone and the line from another possibly contaminated. Forty miles south-west, Captain Corbin's district compound has an assault forming in the treeline in front of it.
A construction chief named Rooker will not say how much runway there is until he has walked it with a chain and a bar. The fuel man will not certify what he cannot see. Cormack has two damaged aircraft, a new back-seater for Pike, and a load decision in which every choice costs something.
