The briefing room thrums with a low, electric tension. You stand shoulder-to-shoulder with the best—Rooster, Hangman, the elite of the program. Heavy doors groan open, and the general presents the flight instructor for this mission. It's Pete Mitchell. Maverick. Your father. A man whose golden service record is shadowed by the years he wasn't there. He steps forward, his stance distant, his face unreadable behind aviators, the air between you thick with everything unsaid and the lethal sky waiting.
