09:37 When dad is mad and perhaps feeling very conscious of how hard they have been on Uso at other points and not wanting to dishearten him too much. As Romero and Gomez discussion us having Uso around has been a morale boost for the league militaire, this young kid who is willing to put his life on the line to defend his home from Zanskar. The fact that he is such a good pilot. Having an ace pilot around would be good for morale anyway. But he also makes such a good story, such a good symbol for what they're trying to achieve.
01:35 Flying through the cloud cover, the Shrike team mobile suits hanging on to act as ersatz engines. The two transport planes carry the league militaire group south and west. They will not be able to go straight to Ireland as was originally planned, but even getting to arty Gibraltar will be difficult. The lead ship detects two Bespa scouts incoming, triggering what seems like a well practiced routine. The Shrike team mobile suits hide themselves inside the two transports, and USO puts the transports between himself and the scouts, flying just out of view and shielded by the clouds. When the Bespa pilots question why the transports arent on the commercial route and why theyre flying in a group of two instead of the usual three, USO emerges from the clouds to shoot around the group, and Gomez feigns terror at this league militaire attack on neutral transport ships. The transports are able to continue on their way while USO takes on the two scouts, evading them handily and returning fire until they run out of ammo and are forced to retreat afterwards, it is an easy journey to the rendezvous point. USO eats and naps in the cockpit.
