Mike (died 2004) was an American helicopter pilot. It is uncertain if he was a government agent or a pilot attached to USSTRATCOM. In 2004 he took part in a failed rescue attempt of Ashley Graham, the First Daughter, following her abduction by Los Iluminados.

Biography

"Sorry, bad traffic! One combat chopper, compliments of Hunnigan." — Mike, introducing himself to Leon.

When USSTRATCOM agent Leon S. Kennedy sent out to the village of Valdelobos to search for the missing Ashley Graham after intel suggests her location is within the valley, Kennedy confirms that he had found the target held up in the church and requests Ingrid Hunnigan for evacuation. Hunnigan complies and directs the pair to the extraction point. As they make their way to the rendezvous point, heavy rainfall begins to pour which delays the helicopter's arrival to the destination, and Hunnigan relates this fact to Kennedy.

Sometime later, Hunnigan directs the combat chopper which is flown in by Mike to assist Kennedy with his rescue operation in an island near Valdelobos. As Kennedy is pinned down by heavy gunfire from Ganados, Mike flies in and introduces himself to the agent before requesting that he lure enemies into open areas. With Mike's assistance, Kennedy quickly advances through the area to get to Graham -- who has been taken away by Los Iluminados -- with Mike taking down a large number of Ganados along the way. The pair come across an anti-aircraft gun and Mike moves away from the conflict, requesting that Kennedy take it out. After Kennedy successfully destroy AA gun, he heads to the extraction point where Mike attempts to board Kennedy only for the helicopter to be swarmed and attacked by Novistadors controlled by Osmund Saddler. Kennedy watches horrified as the vessel crashes and burns, killing Mike in the process.

Gameplay

In the 2005 game, Mike will fly above the player throughout the outdoor segment in Chapter 4-5 and will assist Leon by firing at Ganados and destroying important Ganado structures. In Professional difficulty, Mike will help far less and take more time between destroying structures. Mike actually will get angry at Leon if the player fires at him.

Mike will say "What are you crazy?". If the player is too close to a structure Mike is trying to destroy, Mike will say "Hey, get out of the way!" repeatedly to warn the player he's firing. However, eventually he'll fire anyway and the explosion can damage Leon if he's too close.

Although not visible in the cutscene, third-party modding tools have revealed that Mike has his own model inside the helicopter cockpit.
