Upon hearing that an old friend named Ramon Morales was killed in a crash in the Gulf of Mexico, U.S. Air Force Brigadier General Charles "Chappy" Sinclair is summoned to Lethridge Air Force Base in Brownsville, Texas, where the remains of Ramon's plane are being examined. Chappy mentions that among Ramon's surviving family members are his sister Anna and his father Luis, the mayor of a small Peruvian village. It is discovered that Ramon was shot down while carrying several kilograms of cocaine, which places this case under DEA jurisdiction.
Meanwhile, in Izquitos Village in Peru, former Nazi captain Gustav Kleiss runs a drug cartel while holding Anna hostage. He is being aided by USAF General Simms in delivering the drugs overseas. As the cartel begins to smuggle their contraband in barrels disguised as U.S. Air Force property, Anna breaks free and sneaks into the cartel's cargo plane, telling Luis she will return with help. After the plane lands in Lethridge, she meets up with Chappy, who informs her that Ramon was killed. Chappy goes to DEA Agent Warren Crawford, who offers to help him if Anna can pinpoint the cartel's location.
Following Ramon's funeral, Chappy and his friends decide to fly to Peru. Chappy convinces air show promoter Stockman to loan him four World War II planes, which are retrofitted with laser-guided missiles. Chappy destroys the cocaine factory. Simms takes off with a shipment in his cargo aircraft but he is stopped by DEA helicopters led by Warren. Kleiss arrives at the scene with a prototype Messerschmitt 263. Chappy outsmarts Kleiss with an inverted roll aided by booster rockets before destroying the prototype jet. Kleiss ejects from his jet and lands in the jungle, where he attempts to bribe Anna, only to be impaled by a spring-loaded Punji stick trap. Back in Texas, Chappy, Anna and the surviving aces celebrate with a barbecue.
