Description
Summary:In the second episode, the fighter pilot students at Britain's very own academy for Top Guns turn their attention to dogfighting. Learning air combat is a key skill if they want to reach their goal of flying solo, and eventually the brand new F35 Lightning. While Andy has aced his flights and passed every one so far, Sedge has previously failed one and knows he must keep up his standards to progress. Meanwhile, fighter pilot trainee Danners has made safety mistakes and failed the same sortie twice, putting her place on the course in jeopardy. In South Carolina, 617 Squadron commander Butch is learning to fly the F35 and has reached the next stage in his training - refuelling.
