NAVAL STRIKE AND AIR WARFARE CENTER, FALLON, NV — The US Navy has graduated its first pilot from the world-famous Top Gun School by correspondence. Lieutenant Carl Samulson completed the grueling eight-month course completely by mail and online, flying simulators twelve to fourteen hours a day from his home. His accomplishment earned him the call sign “HOT,” an acronym for “Hands Off Throttles,” a reference to the fact that Samulson never saw an actual jet during the course.
