Major Mike Rivers : If it moves, I can fly her.
Jason Locke : It's somewhere up the West Coast. Probably isolated country. But we got to find her, and fast.

Jason Locke : I'm sorry I asked.
Major Mike Rivers : [points at the aerial photograph] See, they'd been in and out of their lair so often that I figured that their prop wash must have formed a distinct pattern on the landscape. And there it is. Turn right at the next crossroads.
