History Manifesto Charter

History

A pilot named Leland “Buzz” Harley loses control of his plane and ejects, leaving his co-pilot Dominic “Mailman” Farnum to crash alone; although Mailman survives, he’s mistaken for a deer owing to the branches stuck to his helmet and is shot by a hunter.

Topper Harley wakes up from a nightmare he’s having about the event when Lt. Commander Block asks him to return to active duty as a pilot in the UEE, to help on a new top secret mission: Operation Sleepy Weasel.

Harley starts to show some psychological problems, especially when his father is mentioned. His therapist, Ramada, tries to keep Topper from flying, but she relents, and also starts to build a budding romance with Topper. Meanwhile, Topper gets into a rivalry with another fighter pilot, Kent Gregory, who hates Topper because of the loss of his father “Mailman” to Buzz Harley, and believes Topper may do the same to him.

Meanwhile, Block starts privately meeting with an airplane tycoon, Mr. Wilson, who has recently built a new “Super Fighter” that will make the American pilots superior. Block reveals that he brought back Topper for the reason of making Sleepy Weasel fail. Block would then report that it was the Navy’s planes that were the real reason for the mission failure and that they need to be replaced with Wilson’s planes. During one of the last training missions, an unfortunate accident between Pete “Dead Meat” Thompson and Jim “Wash-Out” Pfaffenbach occurs, leaving Dead Meat dead and Wash Out reassigned to radar operator. Block believes this is enough to convince the Navy to buy new fighters, but Wilson brushes it aside as a “minor incident”, and the planes need to fail in combat for anyone to take notice.

Meanwhile, Topper starts to show more and more feelings for Ramada, but she is also smitten with Gregory, who believes Topper cannot handle combat pressure. On the carrier U.S.S. Essess, commanded by Admiral Thomas ‘Tug’ Benson, Block reveals the mission to be an attack of an Iraqi nuclear plant and assigns Topper to lead the mission, much to Gregory’s chagrin. Meanwhile, Wilson, who is also on board, coerces a crew member to sabotage the planes, putting the pilots’ lives at risk. At first, the mission goes according to Block’s plan. He mentions Buzz Harley to Topper, who becomes overcome with emotion and unable to lead the mission. Block just starts to call out for the mission to be aborted when Iraqi fighters attack the squadron. All the planes’ weapons fail and Block realizes what has happened. He then tells Topper that he saw what really happened with Buzz and Mailman, that Buzz tried to do everything possible to save Mailman, but ended up falling out of the plane, failing in his attempts. Inspired, Topper single-handedly beats the Iraqi fighters and bombs the nuclear plant, despite sustaining heavy damage. Back aboard ship, Block decides that American planes will always be superior with pilots like Topper (and German parts). Wilson’s plan is revealed and his standing with the military is lost.

Manifesto

Hurraah!!! Attention!!!

Global Vigilance, Reach and Power!!
- That would be the manifesto of Hot Shots, if any of us had at least the slightest glimpse of what he is actually doing.

As this is obviously not the case, we keep it a little more basic with only 3 rules:

1. Keep it clean! As a secret special autonomous organisation within the UEE we do obey the rules of the UEE.
2. If you do not, you are on your own. We will deny any involvement in prohibited actions.
2.b. Don’t be an asshole! Communicate and behave like a normal citizen – we don’t want to draw any attention!
3. If you do mess up, prepare to get punished and bear the consequences.

That’s it!

Admiral Benson? Do you want to add something?

Admiral Benson:
“Be seated!
Ah… Many of you are wondering what’s wrong with my pants, well they started running short on materials right before they got to the knees so don’t give me any shit.
Ah. I look out there on all you wonderful guys and I say to myself “What I wouldn’t give to be 20 years younger… and a woman”.
You know, I’ve personally flown over 194 missions and I was shot down on every one. Come to think of it, I’ve never landed a plane in my life.”

- Thank you for your inspirational words, Admiral.

Charter

Lt. Commander Block: Every aerial photo and recon report indicate a defensive arsenal in the D, and perhaps negative C, categories. There’s also some anti-aircraft squadrons. They can send up an ack-ack umbrella high enough to make any attack ineffective. What do you think?
– Admiral Benson: I don’t have a clue what you’re talkin’ about, Phil. Not a fucking clue. I have a shell fragment the size of a fist in my head. Pork Chop Hill, 1953. The only way I can make this goddamn toupee to stay on my head is by magnetizing the entire upper left quadrant of my skull, so you just go ahead and do what you do.

Topper Harley: My father used to say that not playing to win is like sleeping with your sister. Sure she’s a great piece of tail, with a blouse full of goodies, but… it’s just illegal. Then you get into that whole inbred thing. Kids with no teeth who do nothing but play the banjo… eat apple sauce through a straw… pork farm animals.

Lt. Commander Block: American planes will always be superior as long as there are wonderful men like you in the cockpit. And German parts.

Topper Harley: We all have permission to make mistakes. It’s called ‘learning’!
