The pilots of a Callentine R.8F 'Cayamin' prepare to take off on another mission. The Callentine Air Cavalry have in recent years seen an increase in demand for close air support from the multiple theaters of conflict their troops, along with ITO and VFOR sorties, face. The R.8F is a development of the original long-bodied R.8A and R.8E "Kibel" (Shadow). To add to a shorter airframe, the R.8F features more advanced avionics, and a new fire-control radar. Information is fed directly onto the pilots' helmet visors through a helmet-mounted display.
