The jet engine roars as Colonel
Maria Sanchez races the F-35
down the runway. The plane leaps
into the air. At 1,000 feet, she banks
and circles the Air Force base to give
three other fighter planes time to
take off and join her.
Sanchez heads north. The three
other planes fall into formation
around her. Together, the planes
make a formation that looks like a
trapezoid in the sky.
Sanchez’s plan is to land at a base
that is 675 miles away. Sanchez and
the others accelerate to 700 miles
per hour. They climb to 30,000 feet.
Sanchez estimates they’ll be at the
base in less than an hour.
