According to the U.S. ¡°Washington Post¡±, U.S. Defense Secretary Hegerseth participated in a flight performance at the Naval Air Training Base in Falan, Nevada, on October 19 local time, sitting in the back seat of the F/A-18 ¡°Supergirl Bee¡± fighter aircraft. In the propaganda after the incident, Hegerseth mentioned the U.S. film ¡°Supergirl Cloud¡±. It is that in the context of problems such as the U.S. government shutdown, Hegerseth¡¯s behavior was approved as a waste of resources.

Regarding Hegseth's participation in the air show, Hegseth himself, Assistant Secretary of Defense Radabo and others, as well as the social media accounts of the Ministry of Defense, posted multiple posts to promote it. Hegseth described his plane as a "Top Gun fighter." Ladabo said that this plane was the one used by American actor tom cruise in Top Gun.

The U.S. Department of Defense has also released a large number of photos and videos of the flight performance, including the scene of Hugues climbing the ladder from the cockpit after landing.

In an interview with the Washington Post, Dan Graziel, a veteran of the Naval Corps and senior researcher at the U.S. Intellectual Property Center, said: ¡°Heggers¡¯ time should be used to do better things, not to stay on simulators and training flights, because it¡¯s actually just a jerk.¡± He referred to the situation in the Caribbean and said, ¡°We¡¯re not only causing casualties, but the U.S. military is also in danger.
