John Foley | 'Glad To Be Here' at Premiere
Over the course of his life, John Foley has accrued thousands of hours in the cockpit of F/18 jets under his belt as both an instructor pilot for The Marines and lead solo pilot for the Blue Angels squadron. One thing that sets his career apart from other pilots is the opportunity to do some on-camera flying in the iconic movie Top Gun.
"John’s personal path to High Performance began as a child, when he stood alongside his father at an air show featuring the Blue Angels. From that moment, John knew deep in his heart that someday he’d be carving up the skies as a member of the Blues. Eventually, he lived that dream, but getting there wasn’t easy. In fact, John’s journey from an awe-struck child at an air show to the cockpit of the Blue Angels’ F/A-18 Hornet is a study in persistence, hard work and the will to overcome obstacles and setbacks."- John Foley Inc.
