New pilot Frank goes against protocol and Chris' instructions and flies out to Val, a hypochondriac woman he is smitten with. Unfortunately he falls ill during the return flight with stomach pains. After a short stint in hospital he has his pilots license revoked. However he is determined to continue flying unless a better offer of employment arises.
