Summary Rutger's illicit stunt to chase the Russians gets him summoned to court martial, but his general kin gets him off and once the politicians decide to award him the highest air force decoration, he's 'untouchable'. The promoted class starts their F-16 training on a US air base in Tucson, Arizona, instructed by the legendary Dutch pilot Derek 'Lucky' Lanshof, who preaches the outspoken culture of speaking up among all ranks. Rutger starts commiserating with his rival, slowest-learning classmate Dennis, who looses his self-confidence and can't cope with his aptly mates-chosen nickname stutterer, leading to a diabolical drinking contest, followed by a rib-injuring accident which he swears Rutger to silence about, only to get into trouble in the air. Gus -about his late hero brother- and even Lucky confide their fatal traumas.
