"Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to Man. For this, he was chained to a rock and tortured for eternity." On March 3,1969 the United States Navy established an elite school for the top one percent of its pilots. Its purpose was to teach the lost art of aerial combat and to ensure that the handful of men and women who graduated were the best fighter pilots in the world. They succeeded. Today, the Navy calls it Fighter Weapons School. The flyers call it: TOP GUN I FEEL THE NEED... THE NEED FOR SPEED.
