Plot Synopsis

Hosted by Dennis Quaid, TOP COMBAT PILOT is a four-part series that takes an inside look at the Weapons and Tactics Instructor (WTI) course, America's most elite aviation program and the Marines' version of the Navy's famed "Top Gun school." Featuring 25 of the best combat pilots from every squadron in the country, the series follows the pilots as they train in an unrivaled air fleet, including F-18 Hornets and Huey and Cobra combat helicopters. The top performers seek to distinguish themselves as the best of the best and be invited back as a WTI instructor. All four episodes of TOP COMBAT PILOT dropped on Monday, November 6, 2023 on Fox Nation:

"The Elite of the Elite": WTI's intense 7-week training program is underway in Yuma, AZ and the best of the best pilots from every Marine squadron are taking to the skies. From the start, these pilots seek to prove who is the elite of the elite.

"Stick the Landing": As WTI heats up, the Cobras battle a Russian combat helicopter straight out of Hollywood. Meanwhile, the Huey students are tested in an exercise attempting to insert Navy Seals at an embassy while contending with an angry mob.

"Now or Never": WTI is a gauntlet that can break even the best pilots in America. As the students move into the final weeks of the program, the exercises become larger in scale and the stakes even more intense.

"The Big Mish": Seven weeks of grueling combat training culminated with one final operation, known as FINEX. It's the last opportunity for student pilots to plant a flag as the best of the best before WTI graduation.
