I have to say I liked that SNL skit a few years back with the older Val Kilmer as Iceman. Pretty Funny

Memory items wouldn't have saved this crew from "Screwing the pooch," which in my opinion is exactly what they did. When electrical things don't work correctly, my first inclination is to check ALL CB panels for poppers. In this case, only an electrical problem could have resulted in or caused the gear not to deploy. As a 767 Captain, I know that the lack of the center hydraulic system will not cause the gear to have an extension problem. All for now.

For you contract guru's out there. Started a carryover trip on 30 Nov. as a regular line holder. On reserve Dec. 1st. Rerouted with a domicile layover on Dec. 1st. I didn't think a reserve could be rerouted with a domicile layover. Crew scheds says I can do it because I started the trip as a regular line holder...... Thoughts? Calling ALPA tomorrow to check.

The wizards should be able to program the E-GPWS to say 1000 to go. The new avionics mod in the C-5 had this. We didn't have to say anything anymore the plane said it for us.

One of our A320 LCA (formerly NWA) did most of the actual F-14 flying, including the tower fly-by, for Topgun. Nice guy and doesn't talk about it much.

I once flew a MD88/90 trip with a CA who was obsessed with the movie Top Gun and his years as an F-14 pilot. So much so, when we had a layover in San Diego, he just had to take me to Kansas City BBQ -- the restaurant where they filmed Goose playing "Great balls of fire" on the piano for the girls.
At my previous company, over the ops frequency there we're a bunch of guys, from multiple regional carriers, going back and forth with the ops guy in IAD arguing about gate agents, air carts, and/CSRs, some joker decided to transmit the Top Gun theme (Highway to Danger Zone) over the frequency.
Doubled over laughing for at least 5 minutes. The follow up Top Gun quotes that followed afterwards were even funnier.

Tarantino on Top Gun:

That said, hey, I like KC BBQ! And they give a crew discount!
