SuperFreaky Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Can’t wait for the new Iron Eagle 6...or was it 7?
Sua Sponte Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 The best part is the Admiral giving Maverick shit for just being an O-6. 1 1
bennynova Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 If maverick were in the AF he’d still be an O-4 1 1 1
gearhog Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Funny how you can be inspired by a movie, work toward a goal through high school, college, get a commission, fly for almost 22 years, and retire before the sequel comes out. 4 2
Homestar Posted July 19, 2019 Posted July 19, 2019 Question for fighter pilots... The abrupt pull of the stick at 0:33.... Aren't we talking black-out city pulling like that? I mean, I only flew Tweets but that kind of pull would have earned me a helmet smack from my IP. 1 hour ago, torqued said: Funny how you can be inspired by a movie, work toward a goal through high school, college, get a commission, fly for almost 22 years, and retire before the sequel comes out.

bfargin Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 The tweet had one of, if not, the fastest G onsets of any aircraft in our inventory back then. Thankfully it was a slow pig, so difficult to break it in half, but you could over G it pretty quickly.

"Combat medals, only man to shoot down 3 enemy aircraft in 40 years, yet you can't get a promotion"...sounds like the Navy has about as much use for combat experience as the Air Force when it comes to promotion boards. 2

The Hornet doesn’t have an G limiter system, right?
Majestik Møøse Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 (edited) I think Tom Cruise has figured out the retention problem. Line flying O-6, qual’d in at least 4x planes simultaneously, and personal motorcycle storage right on the flight line. Edit: especially since the taxpayers will think this is reality anyway after this movie comes out. Edited July 20, 2019 by Majestik Møøse 5 1
arg Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 The big question is...... Who's going to replace Charlie?

mcbush Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Not that she's got anything on current day Charlie, but it sounds like Jennifer Connelly's taking over the role 1
BFM this Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Wonder if there’s going to be a geopolitical antagonist this time, and who would play the role. Thinking of the Red Dawn reboot that CGI rewrote the NoDAKs implausibly in for the originally penned Chinese invaders (so as not to offend a substantial box office market).
Breckey Posted July 20, 2019 Posted July 20, 2019 Random Persian Gulf country is pretty convienient right now. Plus they have F-14s for Maverick to have a final showdown against. 1

AirGuardianC141747 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Better to be a flying O-6 than the original desk jockey vampire in the Rear Admiral. Ed Harris the 69 year old “2 Star” Admiral; definitely had some age waivers approved... Took him long enough to promote from BGen in “The Rock” 23 years ago. Good actor though.
AirGuardianC141747 Posted July 21, 2019 Posted July 21, 2019 Kelly may not have reduced anything, but Jen did... 1 1
matmacwc Posted July 22, 2019 Posted July 22, 2019 It’s Maverick doing his best Capt Kirk. “Don’t ever let them promote you” 1 1

"I'm an Adm. select, I better go out and do some more drawing in the sky, so I can stay flying."That is how the Navy operates anyway, right?
