Despite his limited flying experience, Grant assumes control of the plane and attempts a landing but misses the approach to Dulles International Airport, forcing him to go around. Crossing into Maryland airspace, Grant recognizes the area surrounding his training airfield, Frederick Field, and attempts to land the 747 there. With Jean's assistance, Grant makes a sloppy but safe landing onto a sand berm at the runway's safety area, and the passengers are safely evacuated. Grant is saluted by the team for his leadership before being summoned to the Pentagon.
