Combat-ready fighter pilots from across Australia descend on the Northern Territory for an exercise called Aces North. On the blue team are 6 pilots in training to become Fighter Combat Instructors. On the red team are 35 pilots including Kartik Maharaj and Jason Easthope. Blue team’s mission is to evacuate a platoon of trapped infantry from a secret airstrip deep in the Australian desert but they’ll be vastly outnumbered by swarms of attacking Hornets and F-111’s. For the first time ever, cameras are allowed into the inner circle of Australia’s elite fighter pilot squadrons.
