Halo and Omaha are deadly accurate.
They both have really great spacial awareness and insane reaction times, making both their flying and their aim razor sharp.
They lost dogfighting against Maverick because, well, he's Maverick, and they never made the target on time in training but, they had by far the best record of hitting the target. Mav just knew that, as good as they were, they wouldn't be able to make it that far.
