Once radar confirms a Hostile, it's full afterburner with guided AIM missiles armed and ready to lock on. The battle will be done in just seconds. Witness real air combat experiences with pilots of the F0-15C, F-14, F-126, and F-18 as they press for the decisive edge. As seen on A&E.
S01:E02 - Blue Water Ops
Flying off a moving base, day or night, in all weather, is the most demanding job in naval-based aviation. Using real-time mission profiles and live cockpit audio, you will experience the intense pressure of the carrier flight deck, and see first-hand why the pilots of the F/A-18 Hornet, F-14 Tomcat, and A-7 Intruder are the best of the best. An action-packed episode not to miss. As seen on A&E.
S01:E03 - Deep Interdiction
Their mission: penetrate enemy defenses, go far behind the lines, then strike high-value targets with lethal force. Interdiction missions go back to the earliest days of air combat. Witness 117s, F-11s and the F-15E Strike Eagle fly night-time missions through heavy anti-aircraft to destroy enemy targets. Rare footage, actual combat missions, insights from brave pilots.

Ground pounder pilots fly inside the threat ring to deliver close air-to-ground support of battlefield ops. This is where the AAA and SAM's fire point-blank, and there's no place to hide. Fly fast or fly armor; pilots have to be able to take a hit. Experience the rush that pilots of the F-16, Falcon, A-10 Warthog, and AV-8 Harrier feel under the hottest combat conditions ever. As seen on A&E.
