Synopsis: The
show follows three young men over 110 days as they train
to become fighter pilots at Tyndall Air Force Base in Florida.
Fully supported by the Air Force, Air Education and Training
Command and the 325th Fighter Wing, each week, viewers will
be invited into the highly secretive world of the U.S. Air
Force, where the three pilots-in-training are learning the
intricate skills and complex academics that will turn them
into combat-ready F-15 pilots. The series features in-depth
interviews with the instructor pilots and academic instructors
who trained the trio of 1st Lt. Todd Giggy and Capts. Marcus
Gregory and Mike Love. Besides from-the-cockpit shooting,
the aspiring Eagle pilots were followed everywhere, from
their homes and churches to local businesses, in a maximum
effort to get inside the training, culture and lifestyles
of fighter pilots. American Fighter Pilot is a Warfront/Zeal
Pictures Production, in association with Scott Free Productions.
Executive producers are Tony Scott ("Top Gun,"
"Spy Game"), Ridley Scott ("Black Hawk Down,"
"Gladiator"), Brian Gadinsky ("Combat Missions,"
"America's Most Wanted") and Jesse Negron ("Pop
& Me").
