The True Story Of The Elite Fighter Pilot School
In 1968, American Air Force and Navy fighter pilots found themselves losing the air battle over the skies over North Vietnam.Even with their superior equipment, U.S. pilots were gunning down enemy jets at a meager two-to-one ratio, which was unacceptable.
The Navy called on nine of its best fighter pilots to form a special graduate school to teach advanced air combat maneuvers to a select class of pilots.This was the beginning of the Top Gun school in Miramar, California.The inspiration for the major motion picture, the Top Gun school has been an elite training and testing ground for our nation's upper echelon of fighter pilots.It is a story of life and death -- a story of a group of men who on sheer guts alone rebuilt the United States' approach to air-to-air combat.
