Dale Snodgrass (May 13, 1949 – July 24, 2021)[1] was a United States Navy aviator and air show performer who according to the Spokane Spokesman-Review was considered one of the greatest fighter pilots of all time.[2]
Snodgrass was the "highest time Tomcat pilot," after having accumulated more than 4,800 hours in the F-14 and more than 1200 arrested carrier landings, both more than any other pilot.[3]
He was called "The Real Top Gun"[3] or the real "Maverick"[1][2][4] in reference to Tom Cruise's character in the movie, Top Gun.
