So the new Top Gun movie came out Top Gun Maverick and I mean we just couldn't

really help but to talk to the real Top Gun. Dave Burke is here. What's happening

Dave? What's up, Jaco? Good to be here, man. Dave Burke, if you don't know him, Marine

Core, Fighter Pilot, Top Gun, Fighter Pilot, Top Gun Instructor, Top Gun Senior

Instructor, Commander of the first operational F-35 Squadron on the ground with my task unit

in the Battle of Ramadi as an Anglico guy leading an Anglico team, Air Naval Gunfire Liaison.

So that's how we got to know each other initially. Now we work together. You can fly an F-18,

an F-16, an F-22, and an F-35. How many people in the world can do that? I know it sounds

crazy but I actually don't know of anybody else. It was qualified and all for it. It may

have happened in the last couple of years. I don't know about it but well who would get

the call now? The real kicker is is the F-22? Yeah. That doesn't fit with both the F-18

and the F-16. It fits with one or the other but actually it doesn't really fit with anything

anymore but so I think the chances of that happening are pretty slim. It's kind of cool.

So you are, it's safe to say you could be considered a little bit of an expert on this kind

of thing. Yeah I guess so. Alright, Top Gun, before we jump into it. Yeah, what is Top Gun?

Explain it real quick. So Top Gun, like the real Top Gun is just a nickname for what's

called the United States Navy Fighter weapon school. It's just a school that has been

around for a while since 1969. It's just a school that teaches kind of a graduate level

capability for fighter pilots to be ready for war. We can certainly go in a lot more detail.

The school is called the Navy Fighter weapon school. It got the nickname Top Gun because

very early on it was literally about gunnery. Like it had its origins and being able to

use the airplane correctly and use the gun on the plane well and I'm really paraphrasing
