On March 3rd, 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 graduate were the best fighter pilots in the world.

They succeeded.

Today, the Navy calls it:

𝙁𝙄𝙂𝙃𝙏𝙀𝙍 𝙒𝙀𝘼𝙋𝙊𝙉𝙎 𝙎𝘾𝙃𝙊𝙊𝙇

The flyers call it:

𝙏𝙊𝙋 𝙂𝙐𝙉
