They seem to have done quite well…all things considered.Maybe so, but they all have almost no squadron time ashore. How can one know how the aviation works without that?

Starts at 1:05I’m surprised Maverick doesn’t own a Corsair, better fighter than the P-51…wait…did I find a new rabbit hole?

I know they’re going to butcher the shit out of “realistic,” and that’s fine. I don’t need “realistic.” I just want “fun and entertaining.”Word from some folks who saw it last night at the premiere on North Island is that it's pretty good.
I'm pretty positive (without having seen it) that the flying cinematography is sick. Release date happens to fall into my first week of airline training. At least I'll be in Seattle, with access to the theater
Classic Chuck.Other news reports he was actually just a pax...
The test was not WW2 but Korea - the Corsair was the ultimate attack aircraft - and rugged with its round air cooled engine...The Corsair did stay in production quite a bit longer.

Which means person with very long hands, a nick of Russian Prince Yury of XI-XII centuries who fought his main wars far beyond the borders of his very reign. Nowadays Russian habit to name the nuke boats after ancient nobles, in turn, means that current tzar (Mr. Putin, in case you forgot) wants to equate himself to them, fuckin' moron. BTW there weren't the ships or boats named Red October actually, as well as Blue October or Red August, for example. There were a battleship on Black Sea and then cruiser on Baltic Sea named October Revolution, both quite useless on their respective theaters.
Top Gun movie lied about the style of real life of a NavAir but not so much about hostile environment. It's ok to put into movie fictional aircraft (or ship or boat) that really may exist within a decade or so. But don't let them add the star-war trash to this drink
