Met A real Top Gun this weekend

A bit off topic this!
I met a graduate from the first ever Top Gun course from back in the 60's yesterday. Really nice bloke. He was also the first one from his class to shoot down a Mig in Vietnam after graduating (with two sidewinder hits!). He had some other really cool stories about being a test pilot dropping Laser Guided Bombs when they were a new fangled thing!
You can probably tell I'm a bit of a spotter as well! My anorak has many hoods!
Cheers
