The Southern Border Squadron

The government can’t stop cartel drones.
Three Vietnam veterans with vintage fighters can.
Every day, Mexican cartels fly drones across the southern border carrying fentanyl—and Washington can’t stop them without shutting down half the Southwest.

Former F-4 Phantom pilot Dale Grant isn’t waiting for permission.

When two fellow combat veterans join him at a forgotten aviation museum stocked with flyable warbirds—and the firepower to match—they do what no one else will.

They go hunting.

Flying World War I biplanes, World War II fighters, and Cold War jets, the squadron begins shooting cartel drones out of the sky over the Sonoran Desert.

At first, they win.

Then the cartels escalate.

A Russian intelligence operative arrives with next-generation stealth drone technology.
Military-grade attack aircraft enter the fight.
And the cartel makes it personal—targeting the pilots’ families, their town, and everything they’ve fought to protect.

Now, three aging warriors must decide how far they’re willing to go.

Across the border.
Outside the law.
Past the point of no return.

Because the only thing more dangerous than a war you can’t win…
is being the only ones willing to fight it.

The Southern Border Squadron delivers high-octane air combat, authentic aviation detail, and a ripped-from-the-headlines conflict where yesterday’s pilots face tomorrow’s war.
