Biography[]

Top Gun: Maverick[]

Fritz is an elite TOPGUN graduate selected to return and train as a candidate for a secret mission to destroy a uranium enrichment facility.

During basic fighter maneuver (BFM) training, the candidates were challenged against CAPT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell to see who could shoot the other down first. Anyone who got shot down by Maverick would have to do two hundred pushups as a punishment (the agreed upon amount set by LT Reuben "Payback" Fitch)

Before their round, Fritz, Yale and Harvard were seen mocking Rooster, who was doing the pushups. However, his team later got shot down by Maverick, and as a result, was forced to do the pushups as well. The fulfillment of this lost bet was overseen by CWO-4 Bernie "Hondo" Coleman, who stood-in as an impromptu drill instructor.

At the end of the training period, he was not one of the candidates selected to partake in the operation by Maverick. During the mission, he remained on the carrier at standby alert.

Notes[]

  • Prior to the special mission, Fritz was assigned/attached to strike fighter squadron VFA-2 Bounty Hunters.
  • Fritz is identified by LT Micky "Fanboy" Garcia when the TOPGUN graduates met at the bar owned by Penny Benjamin.
    • Factual Error: VFA-2 fly the F/A-18F Super Hornet (double seater). In the Top Gun: Maverick, Frits is seen piloting an F/A-18E Super Hornet (single seater).
