As to the flicks, are pilots that started flying pre Top Gun (Hollywood’s) more cool?

He would have been faster if he tried racing without his flaps down

Ahh yes. THE RACE! Ever notice how crazy the background is going or the fact that when they are neck and neck he has his flaps down. The the guy on the bike cheats and takes a cut yet the plane can't go XC. High school kids, planes, girl friends at the finish line. Ahhh old times.

You can tell how old this movie is. When I learned our kneeboards had slots for CD players which have now been replaced for ipods.

Nothing like a bunch of generation "X"ers on a forum. Wait that includes me!

Iron Eagle ROCKED when I was younger. It was my favorite movie for many years but kind of cheesy now days. Although I must admit I still own the sound track.

MAG, RAH and 9E should add a little “Iron Eagle (Twisted Sister)” to their negotiation efforts:

“We're not going to take it,”
“We're not going to take it,”
“We're not going to take it anymore!”

I love the oil pressure gauge on the instrument panel....looks nothing like Cessna.

And why the hell is he trying to race with, what looks like, full flaps?

I tried rolling a plane once...probably wasn't a good idea - it was way too draggy and wouldn't complete the turn, which ended in an inverted nose-dive at 800 ft LoL.
