Btw - since you did mention TopGun - do you care to start taking shots at how many things were wrong with the flying in that movie?
Now I'm not knocking TopGun. Actually - I think they did probsasbly one of the best jobs I've seen of TRYINZG to get most stuff right and to make it entertaining at the same time; but there are some things that are SO WORNG with it that it is funny.
E.G. Once Mav gets back into the plane with a new RIO (Sundowner) and the RIO is trying to talk Mav into engaging you can see his callsign right across the top of the visor. LAter - while they are walking along the flight line and have their confrontation - the callsign has disappeared! (maybe not flying relating but funny nonetheless) >G<
