MICK!
Top Gun 2
By all that’s holy in Naval Aviation! Fan Boi here absolutely wallows in the Top Gun kool-aide. At least he seems up on the Plastic Bug and its variants, but that’s a damn funny looking A-4 at North Island’s front gate. At least he got the P-51 Mustang right, but what Navy Captain has a hanger Jay Leno would envy? He must know Fat Leonard.
Most of the exciting training scenes would result in a “Knock-It-Off!” call and a long debrief with the SO, OPS-O, XO….
The last scene looks straight from Clint Eastwood’s “Firefox.” Another turkey of a flick, but at least it had Clint Eastwood.
Here’s Fan Boi’s video. I recommend a large single barrel bourbon, neat, prior to and during…
Kinda hard to give any credit to someone who can’t tell an A from an F… twice. He claims to be a pilot?
He sounds like he’s a little bit “light in the loafers” if yaknowhutimean!
not that there is anything wrong with that.
Just had to trigger him, didn’t ya? He’ll be drunk for a week. You do know that he hates you, don’t you? daHell we gonna do for kabooms and shacks? You beat all, you know that too, don’t you?
For Mick’s sake, I hope his innerweb is down till next week sometime. Maybe he’ll miss this post. Bless his heart!
Mick and I go knuckles all the time, you know that. Its a Navy-Marine, O-E, Pilot-Aircrew thing, so ground pounding doggie gun bunnies best stay clear.
I’d fly with him any time, any where.
Roger all that. Have followed the love/hate bromance y’all have for years. I’ll stay well away from that Donnybrook.
I’d fly with him too. Just not after he binge watched all the Top Gun flicks. Might have to test out the yellow and black handle.
Love you like a Bro, too. 5/77. I do have to keep up appearances, but by all that’s holy keep your dick skinners OFF the yellow and black striped handles.
At least until after I’ve pulled mine.
*grin*
Thanks for the kind words, AW1Ed; I sincerely appreciate them, and right back at ya.
The brotherhood of The Wings of Gold.
Semper Fidelis.
P.S. I still hate you for always bringing up TOP GUN, ya miserable Squid.
I have a good friend who is an ex-Navy fighter jock and retired O-6 who says that, during filming of the first Top Gun, Cruise was a complete turd; and he treated the Navy pilots like $hit who were doing ALL of his flying for him in the movie!
I think I’ll pass on this one, too.
I’ve heard that “Top Gun” is Naval Aviation’s “The Hurt Locker” and I too heard that Tom Snooze (*OOPS*, Cruise) was a complete and total TURD to everyone during the filming of the former.
“Moonbird”
“The Hurt Locker” is to EOD what “Chicago Fire” is to firefighters, and that chickenshit “911” show is even worse! At least “Backdraft” was entertaining in its bullshit…
I had one former Firefighter tell me that the only accurate part of “Backdraft” was that the Fire Trucks were painted red!
I cringe at DeNiro’s “fire is alive” crap. No, it’s not. It’s a natural process governed by the laws of physics, and is completely predictable provided you can observe and measure all factors of the environment influencing it. The problem is that you can’t observe and measure everything outside of lab conditions, hence the unpredictability. This is why basic chemistry and meteorology are necessary fields of study for firefighters.
And then there’s the sex scene on the hosebed. Ya know, years ago, when I was a Firefighter-I, I violated the No Nomex Rule and dated a female firefighter. Upon seeing that my engine was an older model with open crew seats on the ass end, she promptly advised me that: “I’ve always wanted to fuck on the back of one of these!”
My reply: “Cool! You know what I’ve always wanted to do? Not get fired.”
Well. You heard right. But, consider his height, and you might just figure out that the little man had an attitude problem with anyone and everyone competent and/or taller than 4’11”. Ain’t that just soooo special.
You hear about that dumbass samurai movie he made? Apparently he was all excited to go to Japan, figuring he’d be at least normal-height by their standards. Cruise gets there, and he’s STILL the shortest motherfucker in sight!
Well, you do know that Tom compared working on a set to being deployed to the ‘stan?

Cocksucking prima donna assclown…
Yeah, I remember hearing about him saying that, what a candyassed pampered prissy primadonna, he can go fucketh himself with an alien anal probe!
Mav was QMP material years ago
Sumbitch almost drowned the first time around. Damn AWs saved his ass… Should have ‘missed’ him. Just sayin… And yes, he treated everyone like shit on the set. ‘Rumor’ has it Rat Willard had him puking his guts out in ‘payback’. 🙂
Easy there O-FO, I prefer to think my rescue swimmer brethren saved valuable flight gear- G-suit, helmet, SV-2, etc, that happened to be wrapped around Cruise.
Cool story, may even be true. During the filming of TG-1, Cruise decided to saunter into NAS Mirmar’s O club at Happy Hour dressed in Summer Whites, complete with wings and ribbons.
He was summarily ejected from the establishment.
Pity he didn’t get his ass beat for doing that, candyassed celebrities like him are unaccustomed to anything other than having an entourage kissing their asses and telling them “yes” to whatever they say or want!
If it was a CPO Club, his ass would have been beat, then thrown out.
“Maverick” was once a perfectly good word. That was before McCain and Cruise used it. Now….
James Garner is probably spinning in his grave.
Badass air-to-ground missile. Man, life is gonna suck if you’re some unlucky dude stuck in a tank or apc when a Maverick is locked in.
