Let's not jump down the Top Gun nerd too fast. That movie did, er, "more" for Naval Aviators than...well, you get the point. Revitalized an old sleepy O'club called Oceana. Hell, even the Langely guys would DRIVE over in their zoom bags to partake of the talent at Oceana. We won't even go into what it was like at Miramar and MCRuD (where some of the movie was shot). The cars would be lined up out the front gate of Oceana waiting to get into the club.
With the Reagan buildup and the movie, signs around Norfolk (Dogs and sailors keep of the lawn) weren't seen anymore. Life was good even for prop pilots.
