Description

Thirty-five years ago, Top Gun brought the thrill and danger of naval jet aviation to the big screen. The franchise’s expansion to a second installment, Maverick, proves that audiences just can’t get enough of the need for speed. Tune in on YouTube on November 30 at 8 pm ET as we explore the impact of both movies, the evolution of the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School (aka Top Gun) and naval aviation, and what’s coming next.
Museum curator Mike Hankins will moderate a conversation between Top Gun alumnus (and Museum acting director) Chris Browne; co-founder of the U.S. Navy Fighter Weapons School Captain Dan Pedersen; and recent Top Gun graduate Lt. Elise Walker.
The GE Aviation Lecture Series is made possible by the generous support of GE Aviation.
