    Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota L. Meyer is briefed on cockpit emergency procedures and controls for the T/AV-8B Harrier by Lance Cpl. Jacob M. Heaton, an ejection seat mechanic with Marine Attack Training Squadron 203, April 20, aboard Kentucky Air National Guard Base, prior to Meyer’s flight during the Thunder Over Louisville air show April 21. Marine Attack Training Squadron 203, based at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, provided the harrier for the flight. “This is my first time ever flying in a harrier, but I’ve seen Top Gun about a dozen times,” said Meyer. “If Tom Cruise can handle flying a jet then I can too. I just hope I don’t throw-up.”
