Synopsis
It is the summer of 1991, and months have passed since the first Persian Gulf War.

The western world has turned towards further research and development towards space technology.

In the process, five astronauts have been struck by the chemical phenomena known as the "Birdonic Waves." These personnel are tasked with repelling an alien invasion force known as the Byrum Army.

In the Earth orbital station Andromeda, NASA's primary space weapons development station, scientists have developed "Birdonic Waves", a newly developed technology which gives the subject superhuman abilities. The experiments called "J-Project" were successful.

Colonel Aida Olivier, the director of the project, chose five elite junior military officers from Earth to use this technology.

US Air Force Captain Roland Tendo, an accomplished "Top Gun" F-15 Eagle Pilot and one of the junior officers selected for the project, was successfully exposed to the Birdonic waves, making him the first Jetman, codenamed Red Hawk.

However, Andromeda is suddenly attacked by Byrum, an evil outer-dimensional humanoid race bent on inter-dimensional domination. They successfully destroy the ship and seemingly killing Roland's lover and fellow candidate member, First Lieutenant Leela Ahn, in the chaos.

The remaining Birdonic Waves that were meant for the other four astronauts become scattered on Earth, hitting four junior officers serving across the United States instead. Olivier and Tendo successfully escape and begin searching on Earth for the four remaining Jetmen, training them to aid them in stopping Byrum's plans of conquering our dimension.
