Dive into the thrilling world of military aviation with 'Topgun: The US Navy Fighter Weapons School Fifty Years of Excellence' by Brad Elward. This beautifully illustrated hardback book, measuring 228 x 228 mm and comprising 144 pages, offers an in-depth history of the legendary TOPGUN program, which has shaped fighter pilot training for over five decades.

In this book, you’ll learn detailed insights into aircraft flown at TOPGUN, including the A-4 Skyhawk, F-5E/F Tiger II, F-14A Tomcat, and the F/A-18 Super Hornet, amongst others.

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.

Great for High Mileage Vehicles
Size: 5 Quarts
Reliable synthetic blend for high mileage vehicles. Castrol GTX High Mileage 20W-50 is our go-to oil for older vehicles and high-mileage units in our dealership inventory. The synthetic blend formula provides good protection for engines with significant wear. The 20W-50 viscosity helps reduce oil consumption in higher mileage engines. We've had excellent results using this in trucks and SUVs with over 100k miles. The seal conditioning additives help prevent leaks. Price point is reasonable for a quality synthetic blend. The 5-quart bottles are convenient for standard oil changes. Castrol quality and reputation you can trust. Solid choice for keeping high-mileage vehicles running strong.

Hustler raptor SD hydro oil

Good quality oil used for my hustler raptor SD hydro oil. Far better price than buying a 100 dollar kit. My total cost was 40 bucks with filters.
