TOPGUN

Post by Rogue Leader »

If you are in Mach II AC do you only fight other mach II pilots?
Or do you Fight all the pilots in all the Machs?

They separate Mach I, II, and III pilots for training and dogfighting, etc. You could be fighting against your counsellors or a Mach III pilot (like Right Stuff) but for the most part, it will all be Mach II pilots.

it depends on the week and the program, but GENERALLY, you are given a medal - there don't seem to be scarves during the summer, and I've never worked spring AC.

the supply of scarfs ended about the same time that team t-shirts ended. The scarfs were about $12 wholesale.
