If I were making a calculated guess about human behavior, I’d bet that most pilots reading this story have watched the iconic flying adventure movie, Top Gun. The action-packed 1986 film offers a deep-dive look inside the leadership and flight training education for the best of the best of US Navy pilots. If you haven’t, we recommend streaming it sometime.
