Spoilers of Apple TV's 'Masters of the Air'

LONDON, ENGLAND: Apple TV+ has officially dropped the initial few episodes of 'Masters of the Air' with a star-studded cast and a lot to unpack. 'Masters of the Air' is filled with action, death, and some great banter between the characters you will grow to love if you don't already. 

Some of the main characters include Major Gale Cleven and Major John Egan, aka Buck and Bucky. These characters are played by none other than the very talented Austin Bustler and Callum Turner, who have so far received a great amount of screentime in the first two episodes of 'Masters of the Air,' despite starring against the likes of Ncuti Gatwa and Barry Keoghan. 

However, there is some turbulence, no pun intended, when it comes to Glen and John's friendship in 'Masters of the Air,' one can't help but wonder if it will survive until the end of the series!

The opening scene of 'Masters of the Air' on Apple TV introduced the viewers to John Egan and Glen Cleven, and the bond between them.

Whether it was the fact that they had known each other for a while, or that nicknames had already been established, it was proven that their friendship was strong. 

Even after the first mission in 'Masters of the Air,' which ended with several tragedies, we see a small dip between John and Glen, after Glen showcases his disappointment towards his friend for not warning him about the brutality of war. 

The first two episodes of 'Masters of the Air' also establish that John and Glen are very different from each other, whether it comes to work, or just their personalities, and as the missions of the war begin, how long will their friendship really stand strong?

Will there be more turbulence in the future?

There is no doubt that Apple TV's 'Masters of the Air' is about to get a lot more intense in the coming episodes, and this means John Egan and Glen Cleven's friendship will also be put to the test, in addition to the ongoing missions during the brutal war. 

Nevertheless, the importance that has been given to these characters already, should give viewers the hope that despite any turbulence, Glen and John will find their way back to each other, unless, of course, a deeper tragedy might lie ahead for them.

'Masters of the Air' is now streaming on Apple TV+
