What if the limits you've accepted your whole life aren't real at all? Fighter pilot and test pilot Nathan Gray shares how surviving a deadly jet crash, and later landing an F-35 on Britain’s largest warship, taught him to challenge every self-limiting belief. This is a story about grit, loss, and defying the odds to discover how far we can really go when we dare to believe in ourselves. Commander Nathan Gray was the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm’s Top Gun, with over 30 years’ experience as a fighter pilot and instructor, flying more than 140 combat missions. Raised in Stoke-on-Trent, he became a test pilot for the cutting-edge F35 fighter and earned the coveted Royal Marines green beret during his military career.
