Prologue

Three years ago, Robert and Irma Lair were the Navy's best fighter pilots. Their careers as pilots started in the year 2016, with the North Korean War beginning a year later. Irma's friends; Will Vandom, Taranee Cook, Cornelia Hale, Hay Lin and their spouses joined her and Robert's squadron, VFA-180 Shadows, just after the war began. They flew many missions together, and helped America win the war. They also had some adventures off the battlefield, including a tornado incident in Middleton, an earthquake in Heatherfield, and even a 747 plane crash in the Hawaiian Islands. Eight months after the end of the war, Irma was kidnapped by a terrorist group and taken to a militaristic island facility, but was rescued by Robert and her friends in a dangerous mission which ended with Irma being taken to safety and the facility being destroyed by its self-destruct mechanism. The island itself was wiped off the map by a barrage of Tomahawk cruise missiles fired from USS Cape St. George, which took Irma and the others safely back to Heatherfield. Robert and Irma tied the knot two months later. Five months later, Robert, Irma, Cornelia and Caleb each got their own private pilot's licenses and the U.S. Navy ended up rewarding them for their dedication in combat with a Bombardier Learjet 45XR twin-jet aircraft. Now, three years later, this group will face a new kind of danger…
