Biography[]

Top Gun: Maverick[]

Fanboy 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, Payback and Fanboy challenged CAPT Pete "Maverick" Mitchell to see who could shoot the other down first. Payback and Fanboy were shot down by Maverick, and as a result, had to fulfill the two hundred pushups (the agreed upon amount set by Payback); 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, Payback and Fanboy were selected by Maverick and paired with LT Bradley "Rooster" Bradshaw. They successfully complete the mission and return to the carrier to celebrate with other special mission group members and deck crew.
