Feel the jolt as you accelerate from zero to 150 miles an hour in less than a second, and launch from the deck of an aircraft carrier. The tree tops will whiz by your head as you fly no more than 20 feet off the ground in an Apache helicopter and search for another tank to destroy. Scan the radar-scopes of the Air Force’s newest fighter, the F-22 Raptor – the most sophisticated jet fighter to date – and launch guided missiles beyond the range of your eyesight and into unsuspecting opponents.

This five-part series puts you in the cockpit as these amazing flying machines strut their stuff. From high-G turns to low-altitude passes, you will view never-before-seen footage of the latest in military aircraft, and hear first-hand accounts of what these Ultimate Aircraft really can do, from the pilots who fly them.

Set out to sea with the F/A-18 Hornet, the EA-6B Prowler, and of course, the F-14 Tomcat, ...
