In sci.military.naval John twisted the electrons to say:
This one will be easy. Tom Cruise takes the Tom Skerritt role as
commander of Fighter Weapons School and finds the latest talented hot
shot pilot is the daughter of his old RIO Goose. Yadda yadda yadda,
dogfight, yadda yadda yadda, dogfight, yadda yadda yadda, sunset.

Actually, that's moderately plausible ...

IIRC, it was definitely plausible if not directly mentioned that Tom
Skerritt's character had kids as well ... So possible love interest for
the daughter of Goose there too?
