Talk4 Podcast Episode #076 with Top Gun’s former commander Tom Trotter! Let's uncover the secrets of the real Top Gun!

In this episode we spoke with Tom about his flying career, commanding Top Gun, the purpose of Top Gun, Top Gun Maverick and the movies, loads of fighter jet and pilot trivia, stories and more!

👉🏻 Who Is Tom Trotter?

As a young lieutenant in the Navy, Trotter was selected to train at the TOPGUN school at Naval Air Station Miramar in San Diego. Ten years later he was chosen to command the Navy Fighter Weapons School more affectionately know as TOPGUN. Two years after Trotter went through the school as a lieutenant, Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer were playing lieutenants making the original “Top Gun” movie. Tom Trotter played the real-life role that Tom Skerritt played in the 1986 film.

Trotter retired in 2000 after 24 years as a Navy fighter jet pilot and commander of the Navy’s Airwing 2. He says he comes by his “need for speed” naturally.

Trotter was the final commander at Miramar and handled the TOPGUN school’s move from Southern California to Fallon, Nevada. He is a Pueblo native and a graduate of the University of Colorado.
