only got it because
I always had to cut class...
...to sneak in the simulator.
Good mornlng.
I have an announcement...
... of speclal Interest
to you mllltary personnel.
Little Dougie Masters...
... has regretfully been denled
admlsslon to the Alr Force Academy.
Too bad.
He would've looked so cute
In hls llttle unlform and halrcut...
...marching around
with the other fairies.
What's the matter, flybaby?
You're dead.
I'll wait till you come out.
Then you're mine.
If we fight, you have
to deal with the sheriff.
If we race, it's just
the mountains and me.
You got it.
Be at Mclntyre's in an hour.
Have Raymond gas up my plane.
I'm flying the Snake.
Doug, you'll get killed!
Just like Jimmy Branson did.
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
Will you hand me
that Phillips head?
Why are you working
on my plane?
The Phillips head, boy.
The Phillips head.
What are you doing working on
my plane? Raymond was...
You're flying the Snake.
How'd you know?
Why are you making
my mixture so rich?
How low you have to keep it
to the ground?
50 feet. Why?
Because lean as you were running,
if it stalled...
...you'd have lost your engine and
never been able to pull it out.
That's what happened to Jimmy.
It happened to
the Branson kid, all right.
He didn't know that, either.
They sure couldn't tell him after
they peeled him off that cliff.
What do I owe you?
We can talk about that later.
If you come back.
According to the rules
of the Snake...
...Doug can take any route
through the mountains...
...as long as he sticks under the
50-foot height limit.
Knotcher, you got to stick
to the main road.
You'll loop through Dragon Canyon
and end up back here.
Who will make sure Masters doesn't
pull up if he gets scared?
If he pulls up...
...he's disqualified.
Packer and Brillo can ride monitor
with me and Reggie.
Let's do it.
Good luck. I'm climbing.
That music is jamming!
Dance to those rocks!
How's he doing?
Let's put it this way:
My stomach hurts
from watching this guy fly.
What's with Knotcher?
He almost started
a new career...
... as a hood ornament.
He should just land on the
fool and get it over with.
Don't you feel like flying today?
Flying, yes.
Dying, no.
That's not the main road.
A road's a road.
That'll take 10 minutes
off his time.
He's cuttlng through on the flre road.
No way you can beat hlm now.
It ain't over yet.
You're coming up on Devil's Face.
That's where Jlmmy Branson bought lt.
You did it!
Come on!
Reggle, would you
glve me a break?
Pull up!
Man, you're toying with death.
You know that, right?
Keep jamming to the tunes.
You're zooming!
Smoke's pouring out of your manifold!
I'm losing oil pressure.
Shut her down!
You'll seize your engine!
Wonder what a Cessna looks
like splattered on the rocks.
What did you do
to his engine, you freak!
Knotcher made me do it.
He had me adjust his oil cap.
Packer loosened your pressure cap.
Land the plane!
Land the plane!
Stop acting crazy!
You'll get killed!
Easy.
Coming up on Knotcher.
I can beat him.
Don't be a fool!
Just land!
Land the plane.
Don't stall on me now.
Go! Go! Go!
You got him!
Now take it home!
Shit.
Rough landing, flybaby?
It was just a joke, man.
It's pretty funny.
You could've killed me.
What?
I said you could've killed me.
Couldn't hear you.
Can you hear me now?
Doug, you've got to
come with me now.
It's your dad.
You got to get back to the base.
He's been shot down.
Jesus.
They just found out about it.
Come on.
- We got to get Matt.
- I'll get Matt. You go.
When will they release him?
They don't know.
Didn't they tell you why
he was flying so near the coast?
The general said...
...they couldn't tell me.
I'll be back in a minute.
Is Colonel Blackburn in there?
You can't go in there!
Who do you think you are?
Lighten up. I just
