Grad 1v1

Listening to the tomcast podcast about the F-14 today. They mentioned the Top Gun graduation 1v1 and how you didn’t know what was going to be on the other side.

Anyone want to share their stories?

One of my best days flying in the Navy. We took 4 slicked off Echos when I was a JO. Fought an F-15 in the morning and an F-16 in the afternoon. You don’t know what you are flying against until you hit the merge.

I wanted to repeat that for my JO’s when I was Skipper, but unfortunately canceled for COVID.

It's a great time. Not sure how much should be shared, so as to not be a spoiler for those who haven't been yet
Heck, I’d be more interested is what some phantom driver faced in ‘78. I’d assume the opponents have changed since then…..
