Ice's plane has a major mechanical problem during her first solo flight and her confidence is shaken, Burner is covers up a water jet ski injury so he won't be grounded until he is 100% healthy and Spoon and his father's girlfriend, Teri, start falling for each other when they spend time together.

Spoon gets more involved with Teri, which leads to personal and career heartaches.

Ice takes her first flight with Kelly as her Instructor Pilot. Burner is grounded by Hammer for losing his temper when a snob hits his motorcycle. Spoon's father visits, surprising Spoon with a girlfriend who is about 2 years younger than Spoon.
