Flight training is something that you must do a whole lot if you are going to be able to stay alive in a combat situation and this is exactly what Gordon is doing here.   After speaking with Gordon on the phone, I found out that many years after this photo was taken, that he won the Top Gun competition.  All I can say is that this is real exciting.
