Another Top episode Top Gun is defo one of my fan favourite movies along with Rocky. Can’t wait for Top Gun 2 I hope they don’t spoil the franchise by delivering a bad movie.

2021-08-06 16:04:22 +0000 UTCI know I'm late to the discussion, but there's a great documentary about the making of Top Gun in which Kenny Loggins says he wrote "Playing with the boys" because when he was in the room with a hundred other song writers watching the movie, he figured no one else would try to write a song for that scene.

2021-08-03 15:59:19 +0000 UTCNever thought about how iceman was actually the better/more responsible pilot. We’re sort of shoe horned into accepting maverick as the protagonist. But I wouldn’t want to be his wingman. Excited to re-examine the film through this lens. Obligatory danger zone!

2021-08-02 19:38:02 +0000 UTCCall signs are assigned by senior instructors during flight school and some times changed by squadron commanders later. My cousin, who flew Hornets than transitioned to Poseidon's was running late for inspection after a full day of flight training in the Florida sun. You can imagine he was quite ripe. 20 seconds of standing next to the squadron CO "you smell Funky!" and there it was, even after 20 years with the Fleet, a Captain, with the call sign Funky. Even better during the First Gulf War, his wingman kept falling asleep on missions as the ship had run out of go pills. His snoring came through loud and clear on the squadron comm channel. The CAG had a new helmet painted up with the Dwarf Sleepy ready for when they trapped
