Hey, while we're talking about erasing history:

In 1949 the US military held its first Aerial Gunnery Competition, later known as "Top Gun."

The best of the best competed in dogfighting and other skills. The team that won, was the 332nd: The Tuskegee airmen.

So they refused to announce a winner. 🤡

Sorry y'all. Maverick is Black.
