Cunningham
Commander
Randall Cunningham - Vietnam fighter ace and the pilot the movie "Top
Gun" is based on. A Vietnam war volunteer, "Duke" Cunningham
joined the Navy to do his part. He didn't know that he would make his
first air kill in January of 1972 and would become the first ace of the
war by May of the same year. The commander of the Navy's Top Gun School
before he retired, "Duke" was then elected to the U.S. House
of Representatives in 1990. Always an aviator, he flies each of the Navy's
aircraft before approving funding. "Duke" Cunningham is a true
Legend of Airpower.
