Product Description Publisher's Comments Before becoming a Top Gun instructor, I experienced hundreds of dogfights, many of which lasted about two minutes. He logged more than 1,000 hours of flight time in the F-14 Tomcat. The F-14 Tomcat was the Navy's primary fighter at the time and one of the most capable aircraft in the world. As a Radar Intercept Officer (RIO), my seat was six feet (1.8 meters) behind the pilot, so I experienced the same flight experience as the pilot, and my presence was essential to the mission. Top Gun gathers and trains elite pilots of the F-14 Tomcat fighter plane. He became the first Top Gun instructor among his 45 classmates, and also cooperated and appeared in the filming of the movie ``Top Gun'' starring Tom Cruise. A legendary naval aviation officer reveals the front lines of the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, including aerial combat using variable wings, the tense takeoff and landing of an aircraft carrier and its immediate emergency evacuation, and blocking the approach of Soviet reconnaissance planes. Furthermore, the real image of the elite training school ``Top Gun'' shrouded in mystery will be revealed for the first time! The movie ``Top Gun 2'' is also scheduled to be produced, and the era of Top Gun will begin once again.
