It’s looks like Kilmer is on board for this one. Good to see. Hard to think of Top Gun without Iceman. Good to see him working again after the throat cancer. ______________________________________________ “There are plenty of good reasons for fighting, but no good reason ever to hate without reservation, to imagine that God Almighty Himself hates with you, too.” | |||

My son is 10 and just watched Top Gun for the first time about a month ago. He is beyond manageable knowing there's a new one coming out. He's even got himself a flight jacket and some knock-off raybans. Hedley Lamarr: Wait, wait, wait. I'm unarmed. Bart: Alright, we'll settle this like men, with our fists. Hedley Lamarr: Sorry, I just remembered . . . I am armed. | |||

Man that was 32 years ago! What would the flight surgeon say about their keeping their flight status? _________________________ “Remember, remember the fifth of November!" | |||

Another movie I can skip. The original was fine for what it was, in the day. A remake? What's next, 'Iron Eagle 5'? And yea, I too watched the movie for the Tomcat flight sequences. I think the USN charged something like 7K per hour per plane, for the movie. What's that adjusted for inflation for today. Oh, probably CGI today, which is a shame. Cool to see the CGI in 'Dogfights' on the TV, but for a movie I want the real thing. Otherwise, I can just fire up one of my old flight sims for the same effect. -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- -.-. --.- It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.

Val is gonna have to loose at least 50-60lbs in order to get himself into a flight suit. Maybe chemo has helped with the weight loss | |||

Seeing the original cemented a bucket list wish for me: To ride the cat! Of course I will never get to. I may see the new one, depending on reviews. And I am waiting for "Ishtar 2".  End of Earth: 2 Miles Upper Peninsula: 4 Miles | |||

Now you're talking! Another classic! Of course, Chappy's probably long dead by now. ________________________________________________________ "Great danger lies in the notion that we can reason with evil." Doug Patton. | |||

It's going to be hard to make Fallon, NV look as appealing as San Diego in the remake. My daughter can deflate your daughter's soccer ball. | |||

Final countdown was a great flick. Loved the F14 scenes in that movie. I thought the pilot in one scene nearly parked his tomcat in the ocean. i'm with you on flight of the intruder. I'm not sure why but I always loved the A6 intruder. And firebirds... well, lets just say Tommy lee jones nailed the part of an army aviator. My father was an army pilot and he was the perfect warrant officer. | |||

He was in 'The Snowman' and scary skinny. Due to the cancer, I'd imagine, his voice is unrecognizable. | |||

Actually they were filming in the "I" Bar and at the Test Line here at NAS North Island (San Diego)last week "Blessed is he who when facing his own demise, thinks only of his front sight.” Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem Montani Semper Liberi | |||
