I used to watch that show "Wings", but mostly for the hot read haired woman.

I have seen "Hot Shots" I and II and think both are far superior to "Top Gun"...
Oh and I got a book about modern fighter aircraft for Christmas this year. No joke.

My best friend joined the Navy after seeing "Top Gun". A fact I give him endless amounts of shit for.

I'm looking forward to the F/A-18E because in my job every day I have to take off the ECS Bay panel to service the coolant or AWG-9 for the F-14 people. That involves taking out about 50 Tridairs and then wrestle with the FMU's hose because the service point is in a bad place.
Not only that my squadron are going to the single seat Super Hornet cmbined with the fact that the seats are far easier to work on than the GRU-7s in the F-14As and Bs. Not only that, but we don't have to worry about anything involving nitrogen to open up the canopy because it's all electrical in the 18s. So if that breaks down, then of course the AEs will have a fun time trying to fix it.

Pauline Kael on Top Gun, paraphrased from memory: "Top Gun is a recruitment poster more concerned with being a poster than recruiting." I'm not sure what it means, but I like it.
