​​We find ourselves in a situation similar to the US Navy in the late 1960s. They had spent millions of dollars developing the latest and greatest aircraft and weapons systems, yet they were still losing airplanes to Korean War era aircraft. With us, we have spent millions developing technology and aircraft, yet we continue to lose too many aircraft on a regular basis. By doing what the Navy did with Top Gun and focusing on the core principles of operating our aircraft (Academics, Airmanship, Aircraft Systems & Capabilities, Decision Making, and Teamwork), we can turn things around. We can use Top Gun Mentality to prevent accidents.
