A spine-tingling story of an experiment by the Department of Defense to increase the useful life of U.S. tactical pilots.</p>Four 65-year-old retired U.S. Navy fighter pilots volunteer for an experimental program conducted at the Naval Aeromedical Institute in Pensacola Florida using a cocktail of wonder drugs developed by the National Institute of Health.</p>These crusty aviators advance through the increasingly demanding phases of the experiment achieving spectacular results.</p>They are put back into training airplanes and proceed to burn up the course.</p>The reversal of their aging process also has some interesting side-effects on their family relationships. Their wives threaten to end their husbands' participation unless they are included in the experiment.</p>Next the pilots advance to fleet fighter planes and end up deploying on an aircraft carrier to the Western Pacific flying Tomcat fighters.</p>In an action-packed incident over the Sea of Japan they tangle with Nort Korean SU-27 fighters they realize the culmination of their wildest dreams.</p>The story is an enlightening look at what happens when the aging process is reversed in four people involved in one of the world's most hazardous professions; and what happens when their wives become part of the experiment.
