TOPGUN - U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School (March 3, 1969-Present)

The History of the real TOPGUN U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School (3 March 1969-Present)

When two planes are engaged in a dogfight, the advantage of having a better plane can definitively make a difference, but that is only true to a certain point, as the final outcome of the duel is ultimately decided by the pilot's skills, bravery and tenacity. This is what the pilots of the US Navy and Marines are taught in the Navy Fighter Weapons School , the popular Topgun course. It’s a place where pilots get their PhD in air combat skills.
