Nightmare Flight is a group of DDF pilots. Callsign: Nose is flight leader of Nightmare Flight. The other members are Nord, Bog, Sushi, Jager, and Tunestone.[1][2] The Flight graduated in the class prior to Skyward Flight.[2] At least one of the Flight members flies a Poco.[3]

Spensa and FM were offered positions on Nightmare Flight by Nose after he witnessed their skill with light-lances.[1] As Jager was not present during the debris tagging mission flown with Skyward Flight, and there are empty spots available, Jager may have died.[1]

History

Nightmare Flight were on rest and relaxation down in the deep caverns when Skyward Flight was first called into duty, they later relieved Skyward Flight after they acted as decoy reinforcements.[2]

As part of their training, Skyward Flight was paired with Nightmare Flight for a routine debris tagging mission. The group was attacked by the Krell during the exercise and meant to receive reinforcement from Riptide Flight. Before reinforcements arrived, however, Hurl was killed by the Krell and Spensa shot down, forcing her to eject and avoid crashing.[1][3]

Later, Nightmare Flight participated in the Second Battle of Alta.[4]
