You’ve happened upon Fighter Pilot University’s tribute to genuine heroes.

Before we give our humble due to these great men, we would like to explain how an individual makes this page.  Anyone in the fighter pilot world, who embodies the spirit of the true fighter pilot, and, in addition, goes above and beyond in a single act or in how they live their lives in general, can make the hero list and be recognized as such by our faculty.  We may even see an occasional non-pilot that retains these characteristics and add said individual to our list here.  If you have someone in mind that you feel deserves this recognition, please send us the details through our Contact FU page and we’ll decide if they’re a player.  We don’t care what country they come from or what fighter they fly, in fact, we know there are FU heroes all over the world.  If they meet our standards, which are usually established over a dozen beers or cocktails, they could become famous, if they aren’t already.
