Hoot interviews Top Gun: Maverick F-18 Super Hornet pilot Frank "Walleye" Weisser. Frank is a former Blue Angels pilot who was invited to perform special maneuvers for the critically acclaimed movie.

“Top Gun actually had a guideline that says we will not take a Lieutenant Junior Grade pilot, because he isn't experienced enough or advanced enough. But because Jim Ruliffson had been one of the founders and he sent me to Top Gun they let me they let me come to the school. And so I may have been the very first lieutenant junior grade to go through Top Gun.” Hoot Gibson.
