As long as TC goes Mach 2 AND his hair actually catches on fire WHILE dropping a JDAM full of poop on Kelly Mcghillies riding his old Ninja.......all will be well with this version.
First, I didn't know that. I figured if a captain was in for 30 years and failed to make admiral, he'd face mandatory retirement. But I guess also, it would be a mystery as to why a legendary, decorated hero wouldn't be a flag officer by that point.
How about Ice Man? 30 years and he's only an O-5? Does that ever happen? Just curious.

Per the original movie.....Maverick was not an academy student (May or may not matter) and he dupped some dudes kid. (Curiously last name of Mitchell). Also.....Goose died, Maverick has that on his shoulders and was probably haunted by his ghost or something. Maybe Gooses widow had it in for Maverick after the crash. As for Iceman.....well, he is a sore loser douchebag and is therefore undeserving.
He was in Russian prison. I didnt care for the sequels but they could keep that in.
I'd imagine a modern day Doug Masters to be ultimately more hardened and possibly depressed. Like he got out after 20 years and came full circle from being a teen. But he's innately skilled. Chappy is old and in a home. And like Dougs daughter gets kidnapped by ISIS so he sells his ranch, hires mercenaries, and steals an F-15 to blow the piss out of them. But like it happens over contested airspace so he slugs it out with Russian pilots and has flashbacks to being drugged and tortured by the Russians in the 80s so he puts on Metallica's Seek and Destroy and kills them all.
And the USAF sends pilots to get him to stop and kill him if necessary but he is blood drunk. He goes down and starts bludgeoning hajis with a shovel after his pdw AR goes empty.
Eventually he is captured by the US but they pin it all in rogue Israeli Air Force and they say they have his daughter but if he shuts up and goes home then they will cover it up again.
