History Department
History is an important part of the fighter pilot mystique. The Fighter Pilot University History Department strives to keep the traditions, stories and people that make up that history alive and relevant.
Two branches within the FU History Department are FU Heroes and Nature of the Beast (NOTB). FU Heroes honors the people that put the fight in fighter pilots. These are people from the beginning and throughout the fighter pilot era who developed the tactics, displayed the courage and gave fighter pilots their swagger, confidence and arrogance. Through the stories, tributes, quotes and jabs NOTB reveals a much broader look at the world of fighter pilots and their rich and colorful history.The FU History Department is not glamorizing or endorsing war. They are simply promoting the brave deeds, expounding the incredible accomplishments and illustrating how common men arise to confront unbelievable challenges and ultimately become a fighter pilot.
History is alive and KICKASS at Fighter Pilot University.
