"Our F-14 fighter jets are expensive to fly per hour, just aviation fuel, and a take-off and landing will burn thousands of dollars." In the squadron leader's office of the gunners' squadron, Lieutenant Colonel Mark's voice roared: "But you, Captain Nathan, you actually deliberately knocked out our target during target training, so that our results this time were invalidated, do you know what kind of behavior this is?" ”

In the face of Lieutenant Colonel Mark's anger, Nathan was very calm: "I'm sorry, Squadron Leader, I didn't mean to. ”

"You didn't mean to? The other pilots saw it. Lieutenant Colonel Mark said: "You smashed our target so that it could not count the number of shells on it, and then, in order to avoid being scolded, you broke the towing rope!" ”

For dishonest pilots, Lieutenant Colonel Mark is the harshest, dare not do it?

"Okay, I'll admit it." Nathan said: "That's what I thought at the time, you say, what are you going to do with me now, do you want to get rid of the gunslingers?" ”

The gunner's squadron is a training squadron, and only after the end of training from this squadron will the deployment on the aircraft carrier be carried out, otherwise, either go back and continue to fly ghosts, or retire.

Nathan is now out of the way, indeed, dare to act, since he has done it, what is there not to admit?

"Jingle bells." At this moment, the telephone on the desk rang, and when Lieutenant Colonel Mark picked up the phone, he heard the words inside, and suddenly the expression on his face became strange.

"What? You want Nathan to come over? No, he hasn't completed the basic training course yet. Lieutenant Colonel Mark said, "I'll talk about this later!" ”

After saying that, he hung up the phone and said stupidly: "I don't understand this rule, Top Gun is amazing?" ”

Top Gun？ Hearing this name, Nathan suddenly came to his heart, just heard this meaning, is this place to be its own?

In the general translation, Top Gun is directly equated with Top Gun, and the word is translated as Top Gun, in fact, a more reasonable explanation of Top Gun is The best in best.

The best in air combat.

The place is officially known as the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School, and the establishment of the school is a direct result of a study published in 1968 by Captain Frank Ault.

In the Vietnam War, the U.S. Air Force was a failure, and in Operation Rolling Mine, the U.S. Army lost nearly 1,000 aircraft in a million operations.

For such losses, the Air Force and the Navy came to diametrically opposite conclusions, with the US Navy arguing: the lack of aerial combat skills of flight personnel was the source of the problem; The Air Force, for its part, believes that the lack of observation of enemy aircraft in the tail has led to losses in air combat, not technical problems.

The two branches of the armed forces were already doing their own thing, and as a result, the Aort report was affirmed by the Navy's top brass and began to establish an "Advanced Pilot Weapons School" to revive and spread the art of aerial combat throughout the Navy.

After all, in this era, the missile omnipotence theory has received the most widespread support, believing that the biggest role of fighter jets is to carry missiles to intercept bombers, rather than dogfights, resulting in a significant decline in the combat level of pilots.

Now, they're going to return to aerial fighting.

Initially, the school was staffed with a number of F-8 pilots as instructors, and was assigned to the command of the VF-121 "Pacesetter" squadron stationed in Mirama. The VF-121 squadron is a reserve squadron armed with F-4 Phantom fighters.

The school uses the A-4 Skyhawk attack aircraft and the T-38 Talon trainer aircraft, which are borrowed from the US Air Force, to simulate the MiG-17 and MiG-21, respectively. After a period of training, when air operations against North Vietnam resumed, most of the naval flying squadrons had graduates from weapons schools. As a result, the effectiveness of the school's training was evident and highly praised.

Even the US Air Force was greedy, and they did the same and set up the "US Air Force Weapons School", which is probably the most well-known for the Red Flag military exercise presided over by them.

The success of the air battle secured funding for the training school, which eventually became an independent unit and acquired its own aircraft, personnel, and assets.

At the same time, a number of outstanding graduates who had achieved a good record in the war against North Vietnam returned to the school to become instructors, including Mike Keiweng, Jack Enshi, and the first ace pilots in the Vietnam War, "Duke" Cunningham and Willie Driscoll.

In later generations, Top Gun became famous naturally because of the movie Top Gun, and the protagonist was in this school. And now, the script written by Nathan is also based on Top Gun.

It's just that today, the most famous school in the Navy, which is also stationed at the Miramar Naval Air Station, actually called Nathan to ask for Nathan, which made Nathan strange.

In my impression, Nathan should not have entered this school, according to reason, it is possible for Nathan to train in it for a period of time, but now this school mainly trains F-4 pilots, and he has begun to fly F-14!

"Are they going to send me to school for training?" Nathan asked.

"Of course not, they asked you to be an instructor." Lieutenant Colonel Mark answered almost without thinking about it, and when he finished answering, he found that something was wrong, and he was actually tricked?

"Don't deflect the subject from me, tell you, Nathan, you're grounded! During this time that you are grounded, give me a good idea of the mistakes you made! Lieutenant Colonel Mark said: "Also, you can't leave the gunners without my signature!" ”

"Yes." With a salute, Nathan left the office, his mind still confused.

Want to make yourself an instructor? It's strange, although my experience is not bad, but there is a group of air combat aces of the Vietnam War, where can I take my turn!

Looking at Nathan's departing back, Lieutenant Colonel Mark's face immediately changed, and he smiled, this Nathan, a real flying genius, no wonder he would be selected by the school as an instructor.

They don't lack instructors, but they lack instructors to fly Tomcat fighters, although Nathan has only flown for less than twenty hours, he has already shown strong control over Tomcat fighters, he will be the first to fly to the integration of man and machine, think about today, the first time to open the cannon, the results are the best ever, can actually break the tow rope!

Coupled with his experience in Vietnam, he would be an excellent instructor.

It's just that it's absolutely not right now, this young man is too anxious, and he has to sharpen his temperament!

It just so happened that the top was also urging tightly, and the top brass of the Navy was worried about beckoning qualified pilots, and they were looking forward to the film that Nathan said, so in the past two days, let him hurry up and write the script.
