Description
Climb aboard for some history of the dogfight. The term dogfight is based on just that -2 dogs fighting. For centuries man has called any kind of scrap fight between 2 men a dogfight so it took on a new famous tune in WW1 as pilots went at each other to keep each other from dropping their crude bombs and it ended up in (forget the war) and they went after each other instead in the skies. The mission is still the same today as modern fighter pilots are at the ready to take out an enemy that might launch a missile from 30 plus miles away that can hit a carrier. The term Top gun got its start in the 1800s which was who was the fastest on the draw in a duel or just picnic practice bottles and cans shooting. But it became famous during the Vietnam war as certain pilots returning stateside formed the (TOP GUN) training center based at Mirimar California. A cool hanger called (Fightertown) also set up the western gunfighter but in a jet...an F4 Phantom and later an F14 Tomcat which became famous in the movie TOP GUN. The 2 most cool on it military jet fighters bar none. This mission set puts you all out in F4 phantoms and F14 Tomcats against the best of AI migs and training instructors. This mission set includes all points in between. There are also WW1 sopwith pups fighting Germans and modern day TOP GUN A10 warthogs going head on into tanks and sam fire and gun plinking terrorist. A sideshow this time includes the USS Constitution going head on against pirate ships on the water..Top gun has always been happening for centuries whether from a musket to a drone missile fired from a military computer nerd in an air conditioned trailer in an undisclosed location... Hats off to all the TOP GUNS!!!
