Plot

In a parody of Top Gun, Maverick (Peter) and Goose (Joe) are aspiring Naval pilots attending the titular flight school with Charlie (Lois) as their instructor who is also in a relationship with Maverick. After one of their missions ends in failure, Maverick feels guilt over the death of Goose and resigns to grieve for thirty-five years by playing out scenes in other Tom Cruise movies. Upon his return, he is tasked with instructing a new generation of pilots, including Goose’s son Rooster (Chris), who is resentful over the death of his father as well as having his mother written out of the sequel. The two men succeed at their mission and manage to reconcile after a scorned Charlie shoots them down and captures them. After escaping in a stolen jet and being saved by a supposedly dead Iceman (Stewie), Maverick and Rooster return to base and are hailed as heroes. In the final scene, Peter mentions how well Top Gun: Maverick performed as he jumps out of an airplane with Tiny Tom Cruise.
