TopGun is a great (if cheesy) flick. Great flying scenes...good corny quotes, and Kelly McGillis looked great.
That being said, if someone quoted TopGun in the cockpit, I think I am required by our Flight Ops Manual, the POH, 14 CFAR Part 121, and sense of good taste...
Anytime someone quotes Top Gun in my cockpit I roll my eyes at them and tell 'em to shut the *@#k up. Of course, I believe the underlying reason is my insecurity in the fact I know EVERY SINGLE LINE from that movie myself....
Shouldn't all these quotes be under that earlier thread "You might be a dorky pilot if..."?
Just kidding, gang. The flight scenes are great, and otherwise it's probably the best military recruitment/Kawasaki Ninja commerical ever produced.
Personally, I find myself quoting a lot of Coen Brothers movies (Raising Arizona, Big Lebowski, O'Brother...). Since most of the guys I fly with haven't seen these flicks, they just end up thinking I'm a freak. Okay, not too far off the mark, I guess....
