At Friendship Field, Carman, Manitoba, aircraft restorer and self-taught engineer Bob Diemert and his friend Chris Ball are working on an unusual project which had its origins in the late 1970s. Taking shape in one of the airfield hangars is a new type of close air support or COIN aircraft designed to take on Soviet Union tanks. Christened the "Defender", the unusual design is a throwback to the heavily armoured Junkers Ju 87 Stuka and Ilyushin Il-2 Sturmovik close air support aircraft of the Second World War.
From the 1920s, the bush pilot had been instrumental in pushing back the frontiers of Canada, both westward and northward. In order to traverse the great stretches of northern bush and lake country, bush planes became the preferred means, supplanting the canoe and dog sled. Originally introduced in 1935, the Noorduyn Norseman was one of the first purpose-built aircraft to work in Canada's remote and unsettled regions. Remaining in production for almost 25 years with over 900 produced, a number of examples of Noorduyn Norseman aircraft remain in commercial and private use to this day.
In 1939, Canada joined the worldwide war effort with factories turning out war machines. At the Canadian Car and Foundry (nicknamed "Can-Car") in Fort William, Ontario, a large workforce was recruited to build the Hawker Hurricane fighter aircraft, including a preponderance of women. Many of them were young, and came from as far away as the Prairies.

After a time in the trenches on the Western Front as an officer in the infantry, he applies to become an aviator and is assigned to a balloon corps as an air observer.

A romance between the two is kindled.
The film is set in 1952 during the Korean War, and many Republic of Korea fighter pilots have fallen in the service of the nation. Of those that remain one of the bravest and best is Major Na Gwan-jung, in the air he is cool and level headed, and directly and swiftly dispatches the enemy with a minimum of complication. On the ground he spends his time drinking with his comrades, the vagaries of life and death in wartime has led to the pilots adopting a live for the moment approach to life.
L'action du film se situe en 1981, vingt ans avant le premier volet. À l'École de l’air de Salon-de-Provence, Ernest Krakenkrick et Bachir Bouzouk, les meilleurs pilotes de l'Armée de l'air française, sont sur le point de devenir les premiers spationautes français en étant recrutés pour le programme de la fusée Ariane. Mais à la suite du test de la centrifugeuse qui tourne mal, ils perdent une partie de leurs facultés mentales et sont contraints de renoncer à leur rêve. L'armée leur trouve finalement un poste de bagagistes à l'aéroport d'Aurly-Ouest (volontairement orthographié ainsi dans le film). Mais un soir, celui-ci subit une prise d'otage en son sein par un groupe de terroristes, appelé « Les Moustachious », qui s'empare de la tour de contrôle. Alors que le Ministère de l'Intérieur tente de négocier avec les criminels, Ernest et Bachir vont tout faire pour sauver l'aéroport.
