Dave Baranek (callsign "Bio") was one of 451 teenagers to receive his Wings of Yellow metal in 1980 as a naval airfare official. Four years later, seasoned by strong training and deployments in the tense confrontations of the Cold Conflict, he became the only person of that primary group to go up to become an teacher at the navy's elite Fighter Weapons Institution. As a Topgun teacher, Bio was responsible for educating the navy's and Marine Corps' best fighter pilots how to be even better. He schooled them in the school room and then travelled head-to-head with them in the skies. Then, in August 1985, Bio was given to incorporate his day-to-day airfare duties with involvement in a Pentagon-blessed project to film action video footage for a significant Hollywood movie concentrating on the lives, is in love with, heartbreaks, and triumphs of young fighter pilots: Top Weapon. Bio soon found himself driving in limousines to attend gala premieres, and being designated by giggling teens and awed schoolboys who known the name "Topgun" on his T-shirts. The audiobook ends with his reflections on his career as a skilled naval aviator and his long lasting love of airfare.
