Sad "Top Gun" News
If you were a teenage boy when Top Gun came out in 1986 like I was, you thought how great it would be to be a fighter pilot. Then you could fly cool jets, and get great women like Kelly McGillis.
How long ago was that movie? 24 years? Yikes! (perfectly safe for work) http://movies.yahoo.com/photos/red-c...kheimer#photo0 |

Was that really 24 years ago? Goodness gracious, great balls of fire! (Someone had to say it...)

On top of that, the F-14 Tomcats were retired several years ago, and in the interest of national security (read: Iran) they were sent straightaway to Captain Crunch.

Re: Sad "Top Gun" News
Ironic that Iran is now the last user of F-14s (assuming they're even capable of anything beyond keeping tarmac from flying off into space).

Re: Sad "Top Gun" News
I do too, but spent NO time around it. I have said many times, though, I remember being at Wilber's BBQ in Goldsboro, NC and having one fly over the parking lot and I swear it looked like an aircraft carrier flying over that highway. Or at least a destroyer. GIANT. Biga$$ F-15 is about HALF that size. BUT THIS is what I worked on....

I thought this was fitting, given the subject....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv6fo...rom=PL&index=7 I prefer this version (without the guitar)...somehow it always sent more of a tingle up my spine.
