His name was Simon “Strato” Keegan. He was a flight sergeant in the USAF.

”This is Strato to Z-Stripe, co-ordinate. How copy, lieutenant?” You were a flight lieutenant in the USAF. Heavily trusted. Right now the both of you were doing some patrol drills, wingman drills as well as dogfighting. You both flew F-22 plane models and were both best friends, very close friends who could joke about anything and you would never see one without the other. That’s how close they were.
