Top Gun Part I
This gallery covers the 1970s of the Navy Fighter Weapons School TOPGUN, featuring A-4 (with and without camouflage), F-5, F-14 and F-4 aircraft, including two F-4 Phantoms from VF-121 squadron that launched TOPGUN. It also shows the second hand trailer “accommodation” of the founding instructors, where the concept of dogfight tactics was developed – later transforming air forces around the world.
