TODD GIGGY FACES ANOTHER DIRE EMERGENCY, WHILE MARCUS GREGORY AND MIKE LOVE
PREPARE FOR THEIR FIRST SOLO FLIGHTS,
ON "AFP: AMERICAN FIGHTER PILOT," APRIL 12

"Single Seat Mentality" -- Todd Giggy experiences a second in-flight emergency, while Marcus Gregory and Mike Love prepare for their first solo flights, on AFP: AMERICAN FIGHTER PILOT, Friday, April 12 (8:00-9:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Jesse Negron shot the series. Negron, Tony Scott, Ridley Scott and Brian Gadinsky are the executive producers.

When Giggy and his instructor pilot face a second in-flight emergency, they must decide quickly whether or not to eject from the plane in order to save their lives. Mike Love's centrifuge test, which monitors his ability to handle extreme forces of gravity, does not go as planned. Marcus Gregory must focus fully on his first solo flight, while his wife, Sunni, is close to giving birth to their first child. Meanwhile, the other wives get peeks into their husbands' lives in-training and suit up to experience high-speed F-15 rides on the runway.
