San Diego," Dr. Schallhorn said. "I haven't been over there in many years. I did meet my wife at an officers' club. I was with a fellow aviator during flight training. I'm not sure what song was playing, but I didn't grab a mic and sing to her." Close enough, Dr. Schallhorn. Despite the similarities between
Dr. Schallhorn's experience and what unfolded in the movie, he maintains that characters were based on composites of pilots. He wasn't Maverick, nor was he "Viper," the chief instructor.
Dr. Schallhorn's aviator call sign
was actually "Legs." Why? "That's something I only share
over a beer at the Miramar Officers' Club," which has since become a Marine Corps Officers' Club. Dr. Schallhorn being a Navy guy, I guess we'll never know. EW
