AEROPLANE POEMS 2 BY NICK ARMBRISTER

Black Squirrel
God damn F-35s1 caught me napping! Rolling upside down from fifty three thousand feet and diving straight down, I must lose them. Or die. High altitude wasn’t enough. Their AESA2 radar defeated my stealth and they found me. I dodged their Mach 43 AMRAAM4 missiles by doing steep S-turns; big yellow flowers of High Explosive reached out for me and missed. I swear I saw red hot chunks of titanium shrapnel zip past! Jamming the hell out their radar, only partly worked. I wondered, could they track the slipstream from my warplane? No, how was that possible? But flight was once impossible, two centuries ago.
