Aces or fly boys begin to fly missions to drop off, resupply, drop and extract troops and provide cover and support fire. They also engage in rescue missions, surgical strikes, air patrols, strafing runs, fly-bys and full scale, frontline assaults.
"Fly Boys" tend to be brazen, wisecracking and arrogant, but no matter how annoying they can be during the quiet times, they are always reliable in a firefight and renowned for their daring
and courage.
