Summary

fighter pilot Kegan Gill to recount the most violent ejection in naval history. Kegan shares his journey from a "wild" childhood in Michigan to the cockpit of an F/A-18 Super Hornet, leading up to the split-second decision in January 2014 where he chose a "non-survivable" ejection over certain death.
