Following 25 of the best combat pilots from every squadron in the country, viewers will watch as they train in an unrivaled air fleet, including F-18 Hornets and Huey and Cobra combat helicopters. The top performers will seek to distinguish themselves as the best of the best and be invited back as a WTI instructor.

In making the announcement, Klarman said, "Dennis Quaid not only played a pilot in the iconic movie The Right Stuff, but he is also a licensed pilot - we couldn't think of a better person to host this series."

In 2023, Quaid released Fallen: A Gospel Record for Sinners via Gaither Music Group which debuted at No. 1 on Top Christian/Gospel Albums chart.
