It’s July 23rd and there are three pictures of AO (and one of lying-on-his-back digivechkin) on the front page of the site. All is well.

The link in tiny print at the bottom is broken, just to save everyone’s time if you were curious… : ] Was this a fundraiser for the troops or something?
Yeah, I’m a little nosey!

Crosby: You’re everyone’s problem. That’s because every time you go out on the ice, you’re unsafe. I don’t like you because you’re dangerous.
Ovechkin: That’s right! Cros…bee. I am dangerous.

Please spare us the Crosby/Malkin vs. Ovechkin/Semin volleyball scene.

Great. Now I have Kenny Loggins in my head.

Even though I’m ex-Air Force, I’m not ashamed to admit that it never gets old watching Top Gun. A classic, despite the cheese factor being Limburger-level and the military accuracy non-existant.

Top Gun...
…the first five minutes of the movie showing the carrier operations is the best Infomercial the US Navy could ever have asked for. They show quite a bit of that intro before their football games in Annapolis… that whole sequence with the instrumental followed by the Kenny Loggins song… it’s inspiring (and accurate, Jerry Bruckheimer was filming the regular operations on the carrier and edited it into what it is…)
Let's go Caps!

apparently the air force was offered top gun but passed? decided the pilots were shown in too negative a light?

It’s Hollywood. But as someone who knows that you can’t just “put on the brakes and they’ll fly right by!”, I have to snicker at the redonkulous flying scenes. And if you ever really buzzed the tower, your wings would be ripped off your chest, rather than being told that if you screw up again “you’ll be flying a cargo plane full of rubber dog shit out of Hong Kong!”
In my opinion, life MikeL said, this was a goldmine for the Navy. The AF got hosed with those Iron Eagle movies.

USAF will always have air force one, though.

True dat. Underrated flick. Loved the scene where one of the Eagles swallowed a missile to save Harrison Ford.

I used to work for a bunch of the Navy pilots who flew the F-14s/migs for the movie. They had great stories.
