The top performers will seek to distinguish themselves as the best of the best and be invited back as a WTI instructor.

In making the announcement, Klarman said, "Dennis Quaid not only played a pilot in the iconic movie The Right Stuff, but he is also a licensed pilot - we couldn't think of a better person to host this series."
