...force presses you back into your seat at takeoff from the air base at Aviano, Italy, or from an aircraft carrier in the Ionian Sea, you are really never flying solo. You and your wingmen move into a complicated choreography charted for each of the 400 daily sorties. Depending on how far you've had to fly--B-2s fly more than 15 hours from the U.S.--it's likely your plane will slow down to gulp fuel from an aerial tanker before your final run into hostile airspace.

Virginia Woodruff (the Gypsy Queen) shows strong potential, but poor blocking and choreography prevent her from shining the way her solo "Acid Queen" could. Christopher Monteleone (Captain Walker) displays little-to-no chemistry with his shrill melodramatic wife (played by Lisa Capps), who weeps and wails her lines into a tuneless mess. While Michael Gruber (Cousin Kevin) must be applauded for his sexy bleached hair and fine-looking body...
