As cliche as Hollywood is, you’ve probably nailed the plot. You only missed the female pilot who tries to fit in, and has to prove that she’s just as worthy a pilot as the guys.
Oh, I’m sure there will be at least two or three female pilots. The main story is about Maverick, though, so I was focusing on that. In all likelihood, the girl pilots won’t be the plucky go-getters trying to prove they deserve to be there. They’ll likely be near or at the top of the class, capable of outflying most of the other candidates (the air combat version of the 110lb 5-foot nothing girl who can stomp a 6-foot guy in hand-to-hand).
