I guess this is how they will fix the coming fighter pilot shortfall! God knows if it weren't for the first Top Gun most of us would've never joined; best damn recruiting movie ever!

If they're going to do this, then it needs to be legit. Don't pussy-foot around, swing your dick and tell the real story. Charlie (D-CA): Fired from her civilian contractor job for having an inappropriate relationship in the workplace. Completely unqualified for government work...elected to congress. Hollywood: Minimal focus in combat, maximum focus on appearance...Chief of Naval Operations Wolfman: The nav who thinks he got a raw deal in ROTC. Finally, selected to attend Flight School. Washed out. Got his private's and now runs a mock dogfight business in the Mojave desert. Cougar: Flipping burgers since 1986 to pay off his tuition repayment. Recovering meth addict. Merlin: Progressed to the rank of LCDR and is still a nav in Hornets...one of two in a squadron of 150. Mostly prints/chums charts all day. Iceman: Never got over his combat freeze-up where the #2 guy had to save his ass. Recommended for separation after visiting Life Skills. Crawled inside a box of Twinkies and never came out. Slider: Dishonorably discharged after popping positive for the juice on a CO-directed drug test. Soon after, murdered by a Terminator while in bed with his girlfriend Ginger. Jester: Sim instructor... Vance AFB. Best hook rate 10 years running. Viper: Retired. Can be easily found jamming up traffic at the main gate while trying to find his ID since he (like all retirees) figures that 0730 is the most advantageous time to swarm the gate for his daily BX/Commissary/Class-6/MPF run. Goose: New SII: Crews will ensure they are not in a flat spin prior to ejecting. New NATOPS warning: WARNING: Ejecting during a flat spin may result in fatal injury. New boldface: EJECTION: 1) FLAT SPIN - NOT IN (BOTH) 2) EJECTION LOOP - PULL. His story beat to death during safety stand-downs. Maverick: Went VFR-direct to the Guard at the first opportunity.

Ron, is that you?

I heard he gets RIF'd half way through the movie.

It is seriously difficult to take our notion of "OPSEC" seriously when you see articles like that.

I thought that was Chaz Bono...

better than the alternative...quick recoveries, fellas

Did Iceman join the Air Guard?

This thread was mean to honor the sacrifice and loss of four great Airmen, please keep that in mind and go to the other thread if yo want to have a pissing contest about wings falling off. Them Them...

I am cheap....but since I am half way through the program I will have to finish it as its a pain to try and get classes transfered to another school. I would not sign up for TUI now and pay out of pocket. I feel cheated as I was lured in to their flexible program with no out of pocket fees. It seems also that since their accreditation issues the course work is getting more time consuming too. Not worth it anymore.

Denzel flies MC-12s?
