Shin receives his new F-5 Tiger II aircraft and declines a duel invitation from Kitori before taking the plane for its first flight. Meanwhile, Kanzaki encounters significant difficulties during his initial transcontinental journey to Japan in his role as a commercial pilot. Adverse weather conditions eventually cause the separate paths of Shin and Kanzaki to intersect, bringing their respective situations into direct contact. This episode highlights the operational debut of Shin's aircraft and the professional challenges faced by Kanzaki, culminating in a convergence driven by environmental factors rather than personal choice.
