Top Gun question. Do only Navy planes and pilots fly from Aircraft Carriers? Wouldn’t logically the AF have the best
pilots of all the armed forces?
In my no-nothing-about-the-military mind, I would think the top Navy pilots would be like the B or C team for the AF. Do they fly different planes so its a apples to oranges comparison, or is the movie Top Gun just a bunch of Hollywood BS?

Well, the terms “Air Force” v “Navy” for starter. But ultimately my thinking is that there are a many times the number
