Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot

Bogeys and Bandits: The Making of a Fighter Pilot
- A veteran Navy fighter pilot chronicles the training of a class of eight men and women learning to fly the FA-18 Hornet--a more advanced plane than the Tomcat, the star of Top Gun.
Veteran Navy fighter pilot Bob Gandt takes the reader along in the cockpit when he revisits his own elite training program after almost thirty years. A class of eight men and women is learning to fly the incredible FA-18 Hornet- deadlier, sleeker, and far more advanced than even the Tomcat immortalized in the movie Top Gun. As Gandt follows these students through school, indelible characters emerge: swaggering cowboy fighter jocks, crusty old Navy salts, a pair of wholesome twins from Middle America, a computer nerd, and two women pilots dealing with the post-Tailhook world of the military.
