After the Saints rob a Syndicate-owned bank, the Syndicate springs its trap, capturing you and chief lieutenants Johnny Gat and Shaundi. On board a Syndicate jet, its leader makes you an offer, an offer you can't help but refuse.
In Freefalling, the second mission in Saints Row: The Third, fight your way through the jet, skydive over Steelport in an aerial battle royale, shoot out the cockpit of an attacking jet, steal a parachute, and finally catch Shaundi before she drops into Steelport, literally.
