A disgraced navy pilot is recruited to fly a mission which is secretly planned to fail so new planes can be ordered. Parody of Top Gun.
When Remada is giving Topper his evaluation, she starts talking about what happened to his father, Buzz. She mentions that after being ejected from the Air force, he suffocated while working in an overnight photomat booth.
Kent's father was Buzz Harley's co-pilot Mailman. During a mission, Buzz lost control of his plane. Mailman could not eject due to the ejection seat mechanism seat jamming and Buzz jumped off the plane and parachuted. Buzz's plane crashed, but Mailman survived. But, Mailman was mistaken for a deer and was shot and killed. Kent blames Topper for this, despite the fact it was his father and it wasn't his father's fault.
As stamped on his assessment, he suffers from the fictional "Paternal conflict syndrome".
Topper disobeyed a direct order during a mission and lost a $13 million fighter in the process.
Sean.
Two uses of f**k were removed, as was dialogue about inbreeding.
