You’re acting like just because they were young when it happened that stories wouldn’t be remembered and told, pictures wouldn’t be everywhere, they wouldn’t have learned about it in flight school (or countless other places), etc.

The end battle wasn’t classified. Stinger literally tells him “How's it feel to be on the front page of every newspaper in the English-speaking world…”
That’s a big deal, and he would absolutely be a legendary hero in the overall military alone, but especially in and around Miramar. Plus he goes there and teaches as well.
You think pilots training today don’t know who the Tibbets family is, or who Paul Tibbets is? Of course not. He’s a legend and will never be forgotten. I’m not saying what Maverick did is the same as Tibbets, but just making the point that it’s virtually impossible that pilots today wouldn’t know about him, regardless of how many years later.
