Olds could have been an ace (probably was), in Vietnam. To do so would have sent him back stateside. He flew 152 missions. Robin Olds was the greatest Air Force fighter pilot of all time. His tactics will be taught for hundreds of years.
Steve Ritchie was a USAF pilot who wasn't a TOP GUN graduate. His experience with the AIM-7 Sparrow was unusual in that they worked. The Navy had problems with the AIM-7 cuz it wouldn't work most of the time.
