About this season
Dennis Quaid takes us inside the most elite aviation program in America. Known as WTI, the Marine’s version of Top Gun invites the best of the best combat pilots from every squadron in the country to prove their mettle. All are out to perfect their specialty, operating an unrivaled air fleet including F-18 Hornets, Huey, and Cobra Combat helicopters. The pilots who distinguish themselves earn a coveted invitation to return as an instructor…while those who slip up might not graduate at all.
