The Rocketeer season 1 episode 8, titled "Flight Class Heroes," follows the adventures of Kit Secord, a young girl who discovers a mysterious jetpack and becomes a superhero known as the Rocketeer.

In this episode, Kit is excited to attend her first day of aviation school with her friend Tesh and her dad, who is a pilot. However, Kit's enthusiasm quickly wanes when she realizes that her instructor, Mr. Burke, is tough and demanding.

During their first flight lesson, Mr. Burke gives them a difficult maneuver to perform, but Kit struggles to execute it properly. When Tesh tries to help her, she gets in trouble and both of them end up crashing their planes.

Feeling discouraged, Kit considers giving up on aviation school altogether. However, her dad encourages her to keep trying and not let one setback define her.

As Kit continues to practice her flying skills, she discovers that Mr. Burke is actually a former superhero called Skybolt and is impressed by his skills. She asks him for help in mastering the difficult maneuver and he agrees to be her mentor.

By the end of the episode, Kit has not only overcome her initial struggles in aviation school but also gained a new friend and mentor in Skybolt. She feels more confident and capable as the Rocketeer, ready to take on future challenges and protect her city.
