Andy and Sedge must sit their fast jet driving test at the fighter pilot base at RAF Valley in Anglesey. Until now both have only flown propeller planes. For Andy a combination of training and a secondment to the States has meant this has been a long time coming. The school trains pilots for the RAF and the Royal Navy. Danielle, known as Danners, whose husband flies for a low cost airline, is retraining to be a fighter pilot having previously flown Navy helicopters. Britain only has eight frontline female fighter pilots and Danners is the schools only female student. Yet she is further on in her training than the others, and is sent out on a sortie to learn how to handle the jet at dangerous low heights and make it to a target on time.

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.

In the series finale, three students at Britain’s very own Top Gun academy find out which of them, if any, can pass their concluding aerial combat and mission tests and ultimately be selected to fly the new F35 Lightning fighter jet. The school’s only female student, Danners, has an injury which could threaten her participation in the course, after injuring her back playing squash. In Sedge’s final test, he is paired up as lead pilot alongside fellow student Kieran. But when Kieran wrongly identifies a friendly aircraft as hostile, he potentially puts the mission - and both their careers - at risk.

NOVA: Apollo's Daring Mission. Apollo astronauts and engineers tell the inside story of Apollo 8, the first manned mission to the moon. The U.S. space program suffered a bitter setback when Apollo 1 ended in a deadly fire during a pre-launch run-through.
