| Dissimilar Air Combat: F-4J versus F-5E. |
The first TOPGUN class has been completed.
Following the Naval Fighter Weapons School program for the first time has given us a great platform to build on for the future. The attending crews were outstanding in their participation and collaboration, helping us improve the program with 2018 in mind. Well done everybody!
The top crew will be announced soon and receive the respective award at Miramar.
