Fighter Pilot: Operation Red Flag follows Captain John Otter Stratton as he makes his way through this extraordinary event held in the desert of Nevada. As he participates in the exercise, he notices team members who work all night rebuilding and re-installing engines into his aircraft so he can keep flying and training. There are people who rise at 4:30 a.m. each day to scour the runways for tiny pebbles that can get sucked into engines and kill pilots. There are people who practice rushing into a flaming mockup of a crashed aircraft, so if there is a real accident, they will be ready to save the pilot. In the flying exercises, John realizes there are other pilots watching his back, taking personal risks to cover his mistakes. And he is doing the same for them.
