Of course playing Top Gun in a movie and actually being one are two different things. But his bit part in the movie is a claim to fame and makes the headlines.

Congrats Admiral Willard. I heard that Iceman also has been doing OK all these years...

I ditched high school half a dozen times my senior year to see that movie.

ADM Willard was the CO of my Brother Squadron(VF-51) when I was in VF-111 from 1989-1991. How he escaped the post-Tailhook Naval TacAir purge of the early 1990s I will never know. Anyone know anymore?
