'''Homer''' is a fighter pilot at the [[Fighting 799th]] military base. He is a version of [[Homer Simpson]] as imagined by [[Marge]] when she thought about what life would be like if Homer were a fighter pilot.

== History ==
Homer was on a test flight when he broke the sound barrier, shattering the glass at the Fighting 799th military base. [[Seymour Skinner]] told him to pull up, but Homer refused to until he shattered the smell barrier. After shattering the smell barrier, one of the engines from his jet fell off, hitting [[Moe]]'s jet and causing him to crash into [[Mt. Springfield]], killing him. Homer then crash-landed his jet into the ground and rode his motorcycle back to the base.

At the base, Skinner and [[Gary Chalmers]] criticized Homer for destroying a $70 million jet and getting his wingman killed. His superiors told him that they wanted him to undergo a psychological evaluation to determine the source of his reckless behavior. {{ap|Marge|Jet Ace!}} entered the office and revealed that she was his therapist. Marge told Homer that she was going to help determine the cause of his fearlessness and eliminate it once and for all. However, Homer wanted them to do it his way.

Homer and Marge went through a series of dangerous activities during his therapy. Eventually, the two of them discovered the reasoning behind his fearlessness while gliding with a wingsuit: Homer was afraid of being afraid. Upon figuring this out, Homer became scared and pulled his parachute. As Homer and Marge descended, Homer realized that he was responsible for the deaths of so many of his wingmen, and all his wingmen had died. After landing, Homer was worried Marge would not like him because he showed emotion, but she made out with him instead.

After having sex in a public park, a siren went off and Homer and Marge rushed to the base. Skinner and Chalmers told Homer that America's greatest enemy, [[Nonexististan]], was preparing to attack and they needed Homer to blow up a weapons-grade nuclear reactor in a heavily fortified slot canyon with a precision strike after doing a corkscrew maneuver called the "coffin roll". Homer was the only pilot who could perform the maneuver, but he was too scared to do it after his therapy breakthrough. Marge told Homer that she would be with him every step of the mission, which gave Homer the courage to perform it.

The fighter pilots entered the slot canyon, and Homer realized that Marge was his wingman on the mission. Homer and Marge went through one last therapy session in an attempt to restore Homer's reckless bravery. They succeeded, and Homer performed the coffin roll and destroyed the reactor. After succeeding in the mission, Homer told Marge that she was the best wingman he ever had before he remembered that all his wingmen had died. Part of the reactor landed on Marge, killing her.
