(WFRV)- Scott Kartvedt watched Top Gun in 1986 and was inspired to become a Navy pilot.
In his new book, “Full Throttle: From the Blue Angels to Hollywood Stunt Pilot” Kartvedt tells the story of how he expanded his career to work on some of the biggest box office hits.
Before his role in Hollywood, Kartvedt applied to and was selected for the elite Blue Angels air demonstration team. He served during five combat deployments flying 91 combat missions and accumulating over 6,300 flight hours, 658 carrier arrested landings on eleven aircraft carriers.
His skill caught the attention of Maverick himself. Kartvedt flew some of the most challenging scenes in Top Gun: Maverick. He continues to work with Tom Cruise on other upcoming projects.
