"* September 7, 2019: a remotely controlled Union Pacific train of two locomotives and three tank cars carrying liquefied petroleum gas derailed in Portland, Oregon's Albina Yard. The accident damaged the North Going Street overpass, whose partial closure forced an employer in the Swan Island industrial area to alter work schedules for some 900 workers." PRRfan

Top Gun plot summary

Over three decades after the events of Top Gun, Captain Pete "Maverick" Mitchell is a U.S. Navy test pilot and has avoided promotion to continue flying. When Rear Admiral Chester "Hammer" Cain plans to shut down the hypersonic "Darkstar" scramjet program, redirecting the funds to drone programs, Maverick takes the prototype to its speed objective before Cain arrives. Reaching the objective, he pushes further into the hypersonic regime, then parachutes safely as the aircraft disintegrates. Cain is poised to ground Maverick for his recklessness, but Admiral Tom "Iceman" Kazansky, the commander of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, his friend and former rival, intervenes and orders Maverick to NAS North Island as a TOPGUN instructor.

Maverick is ordered to train an elite group of pilots assembled by Vice Admiral Beau "Cyclone" Simpson and Rear Admiral Solomon "Warlock" Bates to bomb a foreign underground uranium enrichment plant. The plant sits in a deep depression at the end of a canyon and is defended by surface-to-air missile (SAM) batteries and enemy aircraft. Maverick plans an attack with two pairs of F/A-18E/F Super Hornets, which will fly below radar coverage through a canyon. Maverick is initially rebuffed by the pilots, particularly by the cocky Lieutenant Jake "Hangman" Seresin and Lieutenant Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw, the son of Maverick's late best friend and RIO Nick "Goose" Bradshaw.

As the pilots train for the mission, friction develops between Hangman and Rooster, who resents Hangman's cavalier attitude towards his wingmen, while Hangman criticizes Rooster's caution. As the pilots observe Maverick's skill, they reassess and coalesce around him. In the process, Maverick also reunites with former girlfriend Penny Benjamin. Maverick later meets with Iceman, who has throat cancer and communicates by typing. Iceman, who reassures Maverick about teaching the pilots, dies days later. Maverick and the pilots attend his funeral. With Iceman gone, Cyclone removes Maverick as mission trainer and draws up a new target approach that is less risky on approach but more risky on egress. Maverick flies his mission on the simulated course, convincing Cyclone to return to the original plan and appoint Maverick as strike leader.

Maverick is paired with pilot Phoenix and her WSO Bob in a two-seat Super Hornet, while Rooster is paired with Payback and his WSO Fanboy. Hangman and the remaining pilots are put on standby. The team launches from the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt while the cruiser USS Leyte Gulf fires Tomahawk cruise missiles to destroy the enemy airbase. However, as the strike group goes into enemy territory while avoiding the soon to be active surface-to-air missiles, an E-2 Hawkeye supporting the strike team, detects two Felon fighters that were on patrol, on an intercept course to defend the plant.

The strike team reach the plant and destroy it. They are then attacked by surface-to-air missiles and a pair of patrolling Su-57 Felons. intercept them, but are attacked byas they escape. When Rooster runs out of countermeasures, Maverick sacrifices his jet to prevent him from being shot down and ejects. As the remaining aircraft return to the carrier, believing Maverick is killed in action, Rooster turns back and saves Maverick from an Mi-24 gunship pursuing him, but is shot down by another surface-to-air missile and ejects nearby. The two reunite and head towards the destroyed airbase, where they identify a refitted F-14 Tomcat that was undamaged by the bombing. The pair steal the aircraft, while the base's survivors are distracted by the chaos around them. While heading back to the carrier, the two patrolling Su-57 Felon fighters intercept to verify them. Maverick and Rooster engage, surprising and shooting the two planes down. Resuming their route to the carrier, a third Su-57 intercepts them. Out of weapons, countermeasures and without functional ejection seats, Hangman arrives just in time from standby, shooting down the Su-57, and the planes return to celebrate the mission's success, where Maverick and Rooster reconcile.

Sometime after the mission, Maverick and Rooster work together on a P-51 Mustang at a hangar near the test facility where Maverick was previously stationed. Penny arrives with her daughter Amelia, and Maverick takes her for a ride in the P-51.
