Output (English): Doug Masters, son of veteran U.S. Air Force pilot Col. Ted Masters, is a hotshot civilian pilot, hoping to follow in his fathers footsteps. His hopes are dashed when he receives a notice of rejection from the Air Force Academy. Making matters worse is the news that his father has been shot down and captured by the fictional Arab state of Bilya while patrolling over the Mediterranean Sea. Despite the incident occurring over international waters, the Arab states court finds Col. Masters guilty of trespassing over their territory and sentences him to hang in three days. Seeing that the U.S. government will donthing to save his fathers life, Doug decides to take matters into his own hands and come up with his own rescue mission. He requests the help of Col. Charles Chappy Sinclair, a Vietnam veteran pilot currently in the Air Force Reserve, who, while not knowing Col. Masters personally, had a favorable runin with him years prior to meeting Doug and knew the type. Chappy is skeptical at first; but Doug convinces him that, with his friends, he has full access to the airbases intelligence and resources and can give him an F16 fighter for the mission. To Dougs surprise, Chappy had already begun planning a rescue operation himself after he learned the outcome of Col. Masters trial. The combined efforts of Chappy and Dougs team result in a meticulously planned mission and the procurement of two heavily armed F16B jets, with Doug flying the second unit. On the day of Col. Masters execution, Doug and Chappy fly their jets to the Mediterranean Sea and cross into the enemy states airspace. In the ensuing battle, they take out three MiG23 fighters and destroy an airfield, but Chappys plane is damaged by an antiaircraft gun. He tells Doug to climb to a high altitude and play the tape he made him the night before, then his engine fails and Doug listens as Chappys fighter goes down. Chappys recorded voice gives Doug encouragement and details that help him to complete the mission and rescue his father. Making the enemy believe he is leading a squadron, Doug threatens the enemy state into releasing his father for pickup. Before Doug lands his plane, Col. Masters is shot by a sniper, causing Doug to destroy the airbase and engulf the runway with napalm to keep the army at bay while he lands and picks up his wounded father. Just as they take off, Doug and his father encounter another group of MiGs led by Col. Akir Nakesh, himself an ace pilot. The lone F16 and Nakeshs MiG engage in a dogfight until a missile from Doug finishes off Nakesh. Low on fuel and ammunition, the F16 is pursued by the other enemy MiGs when a squadron of U.S. Air Force F16s appear, warding off the MiGs before escorting Doug and his father to Ramstein Air Base in West Germany. While Col. Masters is being treated for his wounds, Doug is reunited with Chappy, who had ejected from his plane and was picked up by an Egyptian fishing trawler. The two are summoned by an Air Force judiciary panel for their reckless actions. Seeing that any form of punishment for the duo would expose an embarrassing lapse in Air Force security, the panel forgoes prosecution as long as Doug and Chappy never speak of their operation to anyone. In addition, Chappy convinces the panel to grant Doug admission to the Air Force Academy. Days later, a plane assigned by the President returns to the U.S., reuniting Doug, Chappy, and Col. Masters with family and friends.
