The United States Navy Strike Fighter Tactics Instructor program, more popularly known as Top Gun, is a United States Navy training program that teaches air combat maneuvering tactics and techniques to selected naval aviators and naval flight officers, who return to their operating units as surrogate instructors.

As a graduate of the program, Mark decided to put to use all of the skills and experience gained and opened up a state of the art kilt making and hiring service in Bathgate.
