To keep command of the seas, the U.S. Navy uses many different aircraft. Follow Navy pilots as they fly jet fighter planes, such as the F-14 Tomcat, that carry bombs and missiles on their wings. Join in a hunt for enemy submarines with the long-range P-3C Orion. Learn how an E-2C Hawkeye propeller-driven aircraft searches for enemy airplanes and missiles. Interviews of pilots add a unique edge to this new addition to the Aircraft series.
