Ties in to the original Top Gun

Since we’re on great moments in Helo land, the video circulating of -53s and -60s on their side in Norfolk is nuts... not going to be a fun time for whoever is responsible for tie downs...

 

[Sonog]

Yeah, but it’s HSC off of the carrier so it’ll default to the two old guys in the squadron because it’s the only time the helo dudes will actually get to do anything real.

In this story Jack Black is the affable Skipper that everyone loves, and of course the Skipper flies this mission. Zack Galifinakis is the ancient, bumbling, terminal DH that can’t do shit on the ground but can fly the helo like a magician. The JOs get involved by carrying the flight gear to the helo for the pilots.

It would clearly have been Cyclone and Warlock.... they would have rolled out to the waist in their khakis and no ear pro just to kick out the weak HSC pilots from their seats.

You mean we've gone from getting the vapors over a helo CAG to a bona fide helo Air Boss now?? Well it IS Hollywood, I guess.

Nah, they’re jet guys. Helos are just so easy to fly that they learned how as O6s.

Also totally realistic that the dozen or so aviators in TG2 didn’t need a single intelligence officer to help them plan their unprecedented strike mission against a peer adversary’s nuke plant.

They didn’t show the pr shop or the arresting gear rooms either.

Also no shots of CAPT Mitchell on hold with SATO or calling Admin to raise his GOVCC limit halfway through his Fallon-North Island TDY trip.

"Help them plan" == "sit there in case they need a warm body to look up some random corner case on Intelink."

At least he wasn't a reservist, otherwise his orders would have been disapproved after the NRC lost the fifth copy of the GTCC training paperwork he'd already submitted four times before.

Maybe that’s why TLAM and SEAD coordination were so amazing. ?

Hondo clearly was a representation of every support role rolled into one character.
