U.S. Navy graduates its first F-35C TOPGUN class

Interesting article about the first Topgun class that incorporated F-35Cs.

The U.S. Navy announced the first use of the F-35C fighter plane in two pilots' successful completion of the TOPGUN training program.

"The Lightning II proved its value to the Navy during every phase of the TOPGUN course, and its integration with the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet, E/A-18G Growler and E-2C/D Hawkeye demonstrated that the powerful combination of 4th and 5th generation fighters, with advanced electronic attack, and command and control, is a force-multiplier against advanced threats," Cmdr. Timothy Myers, NAWDC TOPGUN chief, said in a press release.
