Summary:

"With one hand he punched the button to fire the laser, and with the other he pulled the trigger. There was a sudden burst of flame...and the four rockets streaked away, impacting an instant later in a blinding flash, the explosion throwing up a massive cloud of smoke and dust directly below the diving Apache.

'Pull up! Pull up! Tim started yelling, as the aircraft thundered earthwards.

'Pull up!'
