Didn't you lose an entire jet once?
Not on purpose!

Tracer by the Slipstream

The OWX-01 Slipstream[1] was a next-generation[2] teleporting fighter designed by Overwatch.[3] Insight ran an article on the fighter, questioning whether the fighter would be the definitive weapon of air warfare.[4] Lena Oxton was assigned to test a prototype of the fighter. But during its first flight, the aircraft's teleportation matrix malfunctioned, and it disappeared.[3] Hours passed, then weeks, and both the Slipstream and its pilot were declared lost.[5]

Months later, Oxton reappeared, but had been inflicted with chronal disassociation as a result.[3]

Trivia[]

The Slipstream's prefix possibly stands for Overwatch (OW), experimental (X), first model (01).

The Slipstream jet appears to be the same jet that was shot down in the Tear it Down comic.[6]
