Always loved naval aviation and flying as a kid. Tried to be a pro hockey player and I cared enough about college and my major to barely pass. Lost my mom during my senior year and it made me get a grip. My Grandpa (her dad) flew skyraiders, cougars, furys. Decided to fix my bad habits and go for it. Other than that, those F-14 burners in the ending scene might have hinted something.
