We have a crisis situation...



I always thought this was probably the worst edit in this whole movie. First time I saw it with a friend and we both laughed out loud in the theater.

That was my buddy's and my plan for getting college paid for. Simple: go into the Navy, flight school, fly jets, get chicks, get tuition money, and eventually cruise back to school.

Turned out they don't really need many 6'5" jet pilots.... Frickin' Navy. Such a stellar plan.

I think the issue is fitting into the seat, it may also be safety during an ejection. That may have been what kept women out of fighters until they made mods to the seats.

Paging RHINO, please chime in!

Former NFL player Chad Hennings was an A-10 pilot and they always said because it was the only combat airplane they had he would fit into.

No quotes from the movie, guys. Please include quotes to go along with your conversation.
