Synopsis for "Flight"
Hal Jordan and Kyle Rayner use their rings to fly to Edwards Air Force Base. On the way, Hal remembers back to his childhood. Every morning before school, he snuck onto the base to watch his father pilot a jet overhead. Hal's mother disapproved, so they finally had to stop. A few nights later, Hal's father brought him to the base for a plane ride together.
Years later, Hal and Carol Ferris flew in a plane together while on a date. It was her first time back in the air since her father's heart attack required her to manage the company. She and Hal kissed after landing.
In the present, Hal and Kyle arrive at the base. Hal takes him up for a jet ride so that Kyle can experience the thrill of flying without a ring.

Synopsis for "The Day Before"
Prior to the events of Green Lantern: Rebirth, Kyle Rayner is in Sector 3599. He defeats an alien creature, then lands among the local people. They grab at him while repeating a sentence, which Kyle's ring translates as "Parallax is coming."
In California, Hal Jordan uses the power of The Spectre to save a falling jet. The Spectre says the act is a waste of time because there is a murderer in Italy that deserves vengeance. Hal splits apart from the entity, while wearing his Green Lantern costume. They argue about using violent methods. Another version of Hal separates, wearing his Parallax costume. The two versions struggle, then merge with The Spectre again.
