The Merge-1: Naval Aviation in the early 2000s

A 2008 mid-air collision between an F/A-18 Hornet and F-5F Tiger II near Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada left one pilot dead, two aircraft destroyed, and dozens of squadron mates, family, and friends changed forever.

This first episode of The Merge introduces this mini-series with a description of Naval Aviation in 2008.
