This book provides a unique, illustrated history of the US Navy Fighter Weapons School's 50-year history. Currently located at Naval Air Station Fallon, Nevada, TOPGUN was formed in late 1968 at Naval Air Station Miramar, California, to create a graduate-level course in fighter tactics for Navy pilots deploying to Vietnam. Before TOPGUN, Navy F-4 Phantom II fighter crews in Vietnam managed only a 2.5:1 kill ratio versus Soviet-built MiG-17 and MiG-21 fighters: after TOPGUN formed, the community tallied a 12.5:1 kill ratio. Since then, TOPGUN has become the standard-bearer of Navy fighter and strike fighter tactics and training and is recognized worldwide as a center of excellence. TOPGUN's tactics and pilot training are explained, as well as changes and developments throughout the years to the present day. All aircraft flown at TOPGUN since its founding are also shown, including A-4 Skyhawk, T-38A/B Talon, F-5E/F Tiger II, F-16N Viper, F-14A Tomcat, F/A-18 Hornet, F-16A/B Falcon, and F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

Excellent pillows!
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
This pack came with 2 pillows, one firm and one that was flatter and squishy. I absolutely love the flatter one! Most comfortable pillow I've ever used! The firm one was a bit too much for me, but my husband loves it.

It’s alright.
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
Not bad pillows. They are comfortable but mine came with an odd odor, kind of mildewy smell to it. Had to spray it down to tolerate sleeping on it.

Nice pillows
Size: Queen, Number of Items: 2
Have had these a few months and so far really like them!
They don’t really feel very cooling, but I also run VERY HOT so it could just be me. The foam holds up well and hasn’t flattened like others I’ve tried.
They come very compacted- I was shocked how much they expanded!

Amazing - Stop Scrolling and Buy This Pillow
Size: Queen (Pack of 1), Color: White
I have been an Amazon customer ever since the very beginning, and this is my first review. Not because I haven’t purchased tons of amazing things (and a few bad ones), just never felt the need.
However, I researched pillows for longer than I care to admit, and decided on this one.
I’ve had it for about six months and absolutely love it. No lie, I genuinely look forward lying my big head on it after a long day.
I am a side sleeper, but flip flop all around through the night and it’s great in every position.
Pros:
Stays nice and cool, which is soothing regardless of the time of year.
Has a sort of quilted textured pattern on the zip up cover, gives it a luxury feel, that breaths nicely even when a pillow case is added.
The fill is fully adjustable to your preference.
I knew it came with extra filling but was worried it would not be enough. Wrong. It was very full and I ended up taking some out until it was perfect.
It comes vacuum sealed and suggests it may take some time to fully take shape. However, I found it to be about 90% almost instantly and was sleeping on it a couple hours later.
There was no unpleasant scent sometimes associated with memory foam items.
The foam itself is very nice, a mix of what appears to be shredded and cotton candy cloud like. Very brilliant idea, as it is somehow supportive, soft and firm all at once.
The affordability of this pillow compared to some of the others in this category can’t be overstated.
Oh, and the packaging was very thoughtfully and securely done.
If you are like me, an over thinker, I would suggest just taking this for a spin. It’s amazing.
I’m not a bot, or working for the company. I’m just truly satisfied, love this pillow, and have been sleeping great.
