Glad to see I'm not the only pilot who thinks Top Gun is silly.


I can't think of any of my aviator friends, Naval or otherwise, who
doesn't consider it a silly movie.

All movies are silly to some extent, but did the movie do what it set
out to do. Yep, in spades. A 2 hour advertisement for the Navy.
Absolutely the best photography and sound up to that point, I would love
to see that movie done in Dolby.
