I had forgotten that Goldblum and Shearer were in that film.

Interesting that in the Congressional letter to the Navy, they are asking for info about all pilots and NFOs. They could have limited the scope to just TOPGUN or even TACAIR but chose to go all in. https://static01.nyt.com/newsgraphics/documenttools/e3e06f92d74f277b/e98c3c29-full.pdf

On one level, it's bizarre that they lead off their letter referencing TG, and it suggests (per usual) a lack of broader knowledge on the subject of their inquiry. One imagines that they used that as an attention grabber, or because their staffers thought it was cool. I'm sure the folks at NAWDC are having fun collating all the materials for this RFI, but it probably belongs in NAMI's lane.

Yeah, it reads like NAMI would have that info, if anyone. But my buddy at CNAF says they won’t be surprised if they end up playing in the response as well.

These can be painful. We get to respond to random congressionals, or to the Governor's office when a constituent experiences a perceived sleight, or has a question about the crashed UFOs that we're obviously storing under the island of Kauai.

I have good faith that Congressman Roscoe P Coltrane is on the level at the oversight level. These people are highly dedicated to their Article 1 responsibilities.

Edit: sorry I forgot to add this

High probability. Rather than develop a good case for the inquiry, color it with "cool things." i.e. Top Gun.
To me very similar to the poor recruiters who deal with "I'll sign up if... fill in the black (Ranger, Recon, SEAL, Special Ops, anything sounding cool).

On my way out, I did get to handle some absurd Congrint stupid shit. Like, a little old lady claiming that Ospreys were hovering over her property at 4 AM in SD.

I mean how much bandwidth do you appropriate to this stuff? I think I just sent HHQ an email saying that KNKX and KNFG were closed during that hour, so get bent.

I can imagine it's way worse with what you deal with.
