So how many Martin-Baker ties does Capt. Mitchel own?

At least 3 that we know of lol

Disagree. It's a tired antique, which I feel was adequately conveyed in the film... the 1970s cockpit, the fucking huffer start. I'm glad they included that.

*Sad P-3 noises*

Nobody ever gets injured ejecting from an airplane, no matter what. It’s the magic “respawn” handle.

Well…after the post-Goose lesson’s learned, sure, things got better.

Only flat spins kill, obviously. Lesson learned.

My headcanon is either "somehow he stuck with the post-departure gyration until the airspeed bled down to something less stupid" or "he lucked out, found himself still strapped to the seat after the breakup, and executed a manual bailout."

But in reality, cui gives a shit . . . it's a movie, and you can break any law of physics as long as it moves the story along and looks cool.

I’d bet law. After all, she owns her own bar on a naval air station, which means she beat CNIC and the MWR mafia.

So many acronyms you guys use?

Oh, and some of those shots on the VR-1355? Whoever got to film those . . . fuck you, you fucking lucky bastards. That's the aviation equivalent of lucking into a one-night stand with Scarlett Johansson.

I was around Whidbey when they did the filming.

They flew the '55 twice a day Monday thru Thursday and once on Friday to get the shots with at least one VAQ-129 jet leading the Rhinos/film jets.

They also scouted for off route locations in a helo and filmed there.

She owns the bar. Maybe thats her dream job following getting burned out from a highly lucrative, yet exhausting career in I-banking.

Didn't mean to imply she couldn't have been successful before settling down into bar owner, but considering the prices on Coronado these days (yikes!), the dad-miral buying it in the 80s and giving it to his kid seems more plausible

I thought TC's spoken intro was a class act. The whole film was a great piece of entertainment. Especially nice for me after being hard down with COVID for 2 weeks.

Hope you feel better soon!

Perhaps more plausible is that she has both alimony from her previous marriage and is also successful on top of that.

Commander Naval Installation Command, Moral Welfare Recreation.?

He’s doing much better…he was out on his BMW today…mad dog jr. and I met up with him at a cars/motorcycles & coffee…
