vppelt68 Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 I tried to tell @Col. my answer to this proposal would be negative, my future GB:s pattern is full, but that maverick of a GB host thought I feel the need for speed like my fellow Finn Kimi, the iceman, and signed me to build more fast naval jets like Grumman Cougars instead of recognizing I´m a slider towards building various slower aircraft powered by RR Merlins and piston radials like a Grumman Goose. Well, I am one! Anyway, the Top Gun is one of the great Hollywood movies like Charlie Wilson´s War, you know the one in which they armed the Afghans with Stingers? Top Gun is a sentimental journey to my youth, not as far back as Steven Spielberg´s American Graffiti (with the unforgettable radio DJ Wolfman Jack howling in the air late after the sundown) or the (song) American Pie where Don McLean sang about Jester stealing a thorny crown in his youth, but in an era before Vipers replaced the A-4:s and F-5:s as the DACT aircraft in the NFWS. Now, I better get back to my garden to use the chipper so I could be back in time to see Carole Bouquet in For Your Eyes Only. What a lady!

helios16v Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 Several of the late D's that were one of the squadrons heading into the Tomcat's sunset had rather colorful schemes as well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
