I suppose only the most aggressive reservist are allowed to be the "agressors" in the F-5's. That would explain the absence of some.....

Cute Ghost but no. It's for those who already live or are within driving distance of MCAS Yuma. No thanks! Are you sure the "TTU" in your screen name doesn't stand for Tiny Tiny Unit?

Little late on picking up on the Great Santini, alright hogs. That's a great movie! How bout when he give the Corporal(i think) a swirly...lol!

 

[ghost_ttu]

I've already addressed this Col. I tell all the girls that I have a tiny unit, that way I'm meeting or exceeding expectations upon weapon deployment. And you work for an airline, how far of a drive is it to MCAS from one of the SWA airports? That is a lame excuse from the OLD Col.

Alright, something that has been bothering me since I've been wathching FMJ. I've seen it like a million times and I think I understand what Cowboy says to Joker when they're mopping the Head. something like this...

"I want to stick my tube stick into your sister."

Ok. First off, that might not even be what he says, but if it is, then where in the heck does that come from? What's that whole point of him saying that? LOL. I dunno, I just think it's awful random. Thanks.

" I came up with a last ditch idea. I pulled hard toward his aircraft and yanked the throttles back to idle, popping the speed brakes at the same time." " The MiG shot in front of me for the first time!"
- Randall "Duke" Cunningham, commenting on how his was able to maneuver his F4 behind a North Vietnamese MiG-21, obtaining his fifth kill, making him one of only two pilots during the Vietnam War to earn the status of Ace; the other was an Air Force F4 pilot.
Much of the movie Top Gun was based on the actions of Duke Cunningham, he even met his wife using the "You've lost that loving feeling" line.
So the answer to the question is yes, hit the brakes so he'll fly right by does work.

By the way Duke Cunningham was a Navy pilot

Duke's mig encounter is described in Fighter Combat to some detail.

I'm thinking Cowboy and Joker were just bored and trying to pass the time while swabbing the deck in the head. You'd be surprised at some of the conversations you have with guys you've lived with in an open squadbay for a few weeks. Hope this helps.

You've just never had conversations out of no where like that? than your IQ is either too high, or too low. (I'm not serious- but that whole scene makes a world of sence to me man)

Anyone know about the incident where the pilot shooting the flat spin scene actually died?

 

[stevew]

Wasn't that in iron eagle? and I thought that it was an inverted flat spin
