The F-27 Strike Peregrine was the latest United States Air Force air superiority fighter aircraft. It first entered service in the 2050s but constant upgrades in weaponry, avionics and stealthieness kept it state of the art. With afterburner and strap-on rocket packs, an F-27 could climb to the edge of space. It carried the latest in smart bombs and missiles for offensive ordinance and the pilot was assisted in fulfilling his mission by AI electronics. During the Sino-American War of 2117 a flight of F-27s took-off from Edwards Air Force Base on a bombing run on Catalina Island. None returned.
