Wow! When did West Point (Army) graduates ever fly fighter jets (as seen in "Top Gun")? As far as I know only the Navy ( Annapolis) and Air Force ( Colorado Springs) fly fighter planes. As a matter of fact I live very close to Ft. Rucker, where all of the Army Pilots are trained to fly HELICOPTERS!!!! Sounds like Coach Thompson was sitting in a bar trying to impress the women when discussing how he was going to be a fighter pilot, except for an old nagging football injury...
UT's Thompson has become different sort of 'Top Gun'
