Tim – It was on the table, but we are celebrating the movie more than the school. Bottom line, every day should be Top Gun Day!

Um, dont you think Top Gun Day should be March 3rd?????? I mean really…..The first scene of the movie…

On March 3, 1969 the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to insure that the handful of men who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world. They succeeded. Today, the Navy calls it Fighter Weapons School. The flyers call it: TOP GUN.
