Ed is a hot-shot pilot, or so he thinks. He is put through the “assessment” test to see if he has the balls to be behind the stick of an F-18 “super hornet”. Exercises include being hurled around a centrifuge to 7G’s, drugged to confusion by altitude hypoxia, and otherwise being pushed to the limits of physical and mental exhaustion, including several hours in the flight simulator. Will he get the golden carrot - a flight in an F-18? This will be a nail biter for Ed who considers himself an expert at just about everything.
