  • If you do not know CJ or “Heater” as we call him, please join us to tonight as we talk about Top Gun and the how it all started with him back in the day. We will hit on his time as an instructor, the Movie in 1986 and perhaps…UFOs at Area 51 when he was at Constant Peg as a secret MiG pilot. No matter, it will be a blast!

    Great interview. Finally got to hear from 'Heater'. Too bad I missed it and could not ask him questions. Could have asked him lots of great Tomcat questions.

    Great interview! I’m glad I got to meet Heater at Top Gun Days and see your interviews with him. I had a pre-conceived notion about him prior to actually meeting him that was all wrong. When he was in Top Gun, he had the Marlboro Man/“porn stache” look going, and based on some of the arrogant/self-absorbed instructors I dealt with as a student in the VTs in the late 80s/early 90s, I thought “I know the type!” But, he’s really changed my mind about all that. I think it would have really been a meaningful experience flying against him as an aggressor. It sounds like he took a lot of painstaking time and effort to ensure that the fighter pilots of his era “got it right” and really learned how to dogfight. It would have been an honor learning from him. He’s a great American!

      He would’ve been absolutely the best damn C.O. I had ever served under, that is the type of officer you would jump off a cliff for! Semper Fi Taco

    This is a blast Taco. I got The Cutting Edge back in 1992 but mine sure as heck isn't signed by Heater! One thing though - there are multiple references to a previous chat between you two, but scrolling back through your channel I can find no sign of it. Was it removed?
    EDIT: Oh wait a minute ... I just got to the end and you said something to the effect that you'll post part 2 next week but you'd already recorded it - so the discussion Heater is referring to throughout this chat as things you talked about "earlier" is actually in Part 2 with Heater?

    Mitch, your volume is incredibly low compared to his. Please raise your volume some so I'm not turning you way up then turning him way down every time y'all speak.

      That might’ve been when it switch back to the audio from the camera and not my head, Mike. Thanks for the heads up.
