I'll try to do better next time.

You love this sh*t, don't you?

Where else can you fly a $2 billion plane...

..800 miles per hour

Well, that is a fact. That is a fact.

You're in for life, huh?

As long as they'll have me. Aren't you?

No, no, no, no. I don't think so.

I mean, come on...

You even said it yourself.

I should be colonel by now.

Instead, idiots like Boone become general.

- Boone is not such a bad guy.

- Oh, come on!

If a thought goes through his head,

it's the quickest trip in America!

(both chuckle)

Nah...

Flying doesn't mean

what it used to mean to me.

No, not the flying. Carrying the nukes.

I know you love

having the power of God at your fingertips.

You get off on it.

Look out your window.

There's something wrong

with the terrain following.

Shouldn't that starboard ridge

be on our port side?

(alarm buzzing)

Here she comes.

(Hale) No!

What are you doing?

Clyde, I'm looking at halfthe valley

and nothing's going...

Holy sh*t!

- I got 'em!

- (cheering)

McMurran!

This is Deakins!

Hale's lost it! I'm punching out!

Oh, sh*t!

Get me Search and Rescue!

We got pilots down!

The plane crashed 18 minutes ago.

The White House Chief of Staff

is on his way up.

Good morning, gentlemen!

So, do I wake the President?

- Bill.

- Jack.

Well, what have we got?

We're going out with this.

Rick's team prepared it.

The United States AirForce

regrets to announce that early this morning...

..a C-141 heavy-lift cargo plane went down...

..over the Utah desert. Crewstatus

has yet to be determined. Yadda yadda...

Well, that's very nice bullshit, Rick.

- Thank you, sir.

- We'll go with that.

Wait!

We're making a mistake.

Giles?

You have some input

you wish to share with us?

Yes, sir.

Aviation Week...

..has been following the development

of the B-3 for years.

They have stringers,...

..guys camping in lawn chairs

by the Whiteman perimeter fence...

..watching for one ofthese things to take off.

They're gonna know...

..that one took off last night

and they're gonna know...

..that it didn't come back.

When our press release says

a C-141 went down in Utah,...

..they'll put two and two together.

Aviation Weekwill run a story.

Everyone will know what really happened...

..and we're all gonna look extremely stupid.

(murmuring)

We're better offjust telling the truth.

The truth?

- How did you get this job?

- (laughter)

- Rewrite it, like Giles said.

- Yes, sir.

I want you to go to Utah.

I'll have my C-21 standing by.

It was good work in there.

Guys in lawn chairs...

I don't know, Giles...

Sometimes you scare me.

Hell, sir,...

..sometimes I scare myself!

Go! Move! Move!

Thomas, over there!
