Biography[]
Top Gun: Maverick[]
Yale 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 (the agreed upon amount set by LT Reuben "Payback" Fitch)
Before their round, Yale, Harvard, and Fritz were seen mocking Rooster, who was currently in the process of fulfilling the pushups. However, Yale's team got shot down by Maverick, and as a result, had to fulfill 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.
Yale and Harvard were a part of Rooster's team during the canyon run training.
At the end of the training period, Yale was not one of the candidates selected to partake in the operation by CAPT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell. During the special mission, Yale remained in reserve on the carrier at standby alert.

- Prior to the special mission detachment, Yale was assigned/attached to strike fighter squadron VFA-11 Red Rippers.
