Ride Along with a Real Top Gun and Get His View from the Cockpit

You've heard him as host of the Fighter Pilot Podcast. Now ride along.

From the cockpit of a Navy jet circling overhead, an aircraft carrier-1,000 feet long and displacing 98,000 tons-looks no bigger than a child's toy. No wonder the fighter pilots call it a boat. Try landing on one of these bucking broncos without boltering.

TOPGUN instructor and seasoned naval aviator, E. Vincent Jell-O Aiello takes readers on an exhilarating flight from being a wide-eyed eight-year-old peering into a jet's cockpit at the Point Mugu Airshow to flying one. Not the Hollywood version by any means, Vincent explains his tough, terrifying, and trusted path to flying America's war planes.

With heart (spoiler alert), Vincent recounts the

  • Challenges of flight school,
  • Terror of his first carrier landing (and many after),
  • Importance of family back home for those serving our country, and
  • Hard-earned lessons about life when viewed from the cockpit.
