Without a doubt, Lieutenant Colonel Jack Preston is considered a living legend within the United States Air Force as one of its best air aces. He participated as a fighter-bomber pilot in combat operations in the Balkans, Iraq and Afghanistan. Also a member of the special forces, he has developed one of the most successful military careers in memory.

Since 2009 he has directed the testing of the secret prototypes of the so-called Phoenix project alongside his second-in-command and best friend, Captain Derek Chapman. Both share years of friendship and combat operations. It is rumored that they became inseparable after surviving for several days, against all odds, in the inhospitable mountains of Tora Bora in Afghanistan, after their plane was shot down by Taliban fighters.

Jack Preston is a man with great determination who does not give up on anything. His iron will has earned him the trust of Robert P. Giles himself, Chief of Staff of the United States Air Force, who put him in command of the Phoenix project. Since then it is rumored that he has recruited the best promises of the Air Force Academy to test the mysterious Phoenix.

His professional career and his passion for flying have been a handicap for his personal life, which has caused very painful collateral damage. Recently, Jack has had to watch his wife separate from him, distancing him from his daughter Samantha, Samy. Although he has thought about leaving the Air Force on more than one occasion, he has always ended up dismissing it since it would be like dying inside. Furthermore, his current dedication to the Phoenix project is a priority. He hopes that after completing the tests he can return to dedicate time to his family and regain the trust of his wife. Jack is not the kind that surrender, he is not going to fail.
