SNFO
Do NFO's go to TOP GUN anymore? I would think not since from what I hear TOP GUN is for A/A combat which I would assume would then be all single seater planes. Anyone know?
What do you think the NFO does during an A/A fight, just enjoy the scenery? Yes, NFOs go to Top Gun. I'll let the pointy nose types pile on with specifics.Purdue Jones said:Do NFO's go to TOP GUN anymore?

wink said:Not only to the pointy nose NFOs (F-18F, maybe a few final F-14 guys) go to Top Gun, but so do the E-2C NFOs and enlisted Operation Specialists (OSs) that run AAW intercepts from ships. Top Gun is about Air to Air Warfare, not just throwing around jets within a mile or two of each other for a gun shot. It takes more than just a pilot in a single airplane.
