A high-octane fighter pilot perspective traces intense dogfights and night terrain-following missions across Afghanistan in the cockpit.
Since childhood, Paul 'Roscoe' White dreamed of becoming a fighter pilot. From enlisting as an F-15 crew chief to his first flight in the F-15E Strike Eagle, and then to an unlikely assignment as an F-16 Viper Weapons Systems Officer (WSO), Roscoe takes us on a 9-G ride in this behind-the-scenes look at what it's really like to fly fighter jets in the Air Force -- hard work, dedication, sacrifice, a drive to be the best, and a bit of luck.
White takes you into the cockpit for a hellraising ride over the skies of Afghanistan in support of the Army's relentless pursuit of the Taliban and other terrorist organizations. From the heart pounding dogfights in training, to flying on terrain following radar at night through canyons in northern Afghanistan, Maximum Afterburner promises to deliver adrenaline and suspense as we get a fighter pilot's view in the F-15E Strike Eagle, the F-16 Viper, and the F-35 Lightning.
The extraordinary turns ordinary during Operation ENDURING FREEDOM Close Air Support missions. Counterinsurgency operations and moonless night sorties using terrain-following radar become routine. Managing dozens of assets in complex missions and employing weapons from miles away with pinpoint accuracy are the standard. With lives at risk and the nation's defense on the line, each day in a fighter squadron requires maximum effort. The margin for error is tiny. Only those prepared to give their all will earn the opportunity to strap on a fighter jet and surge through the skies in Maximum Afterburner.
