Sound something like this?

"It's almost noon and you haven't started the lawn. Also, the garage needs
sweeping. You'll be helping you mother out today by taking your little
brother to swimming lessons this afternoon, ...and when you get back from
that, you can finish weeding the garden - like you were suppose to do last
week, but didn't. Oh, and hey mister, if you can't put my tools away when
you're done using them, then I don't want you touching them in the first
place! Don't forget to check the oil in the mower --- BEFORE you use it this
time! And what's this I hear, from your mother, that you want to take flying
lessons? ....Flying lessons? Why don't you fly around here this afternoon,
getting your chores done, and maybe we'll talk about it tonight at supper.
Flying lessons. Sheez. Next week it will be guitar lessons, No wait, that
was last week. Flying lessons."

The McGillises were very much into theater. Their mom, Joan, still
directs local stage productions.

Kelly McGillis, last I was in Key West was running a theatre/resturant
there...still a "hottie" and all of the character she played in
TGUN....which is more or less based on a real woman...who is a hottie
as well.. KM is very kind, including possing for some photos...

The alure of a smart woman...

My old test pilot, Rick Fessenden, took the first f-18 through Fighter
Weapons School (Top Gun) - he told me that everything about the movie
was completely fake except for the stunning blond expert on Russian
fighter tactics. He never did tell me her name.

Her "nick" was the same as KM used...and the "real one" was/is
stunning...Ms. McGillis did her justice. No one was dating the real
one...she is happily married...

And everything else about the movie was "stylized"...

You gotta admit, it was one hellofa good scam. Take a $500 electric scooter,
replace a couple wheels with "gee-wiz" controls, sell it for $5000, and let
the "media" tell everyone what a great idea it is.

Oh, yea, and when the battery goes dead, you do a face plant on the
pavement.

I second 12'oclock high. I hear the USAF still uses it as a training film.

I've been away from things for awhile, but I believe that is true. The film
was also used by civilian fortune 500 companies to aclimate their executives
to the management stress issue if I'm not mistaken.

You are absolutely correct. Sorry for the "fowpah" :-))


A slip or blunder in etiquette, manners, or conduct, is a "faux pas". A
"fowpah" is a small, two-wheeled, cartlike utility vehicle pulled by one
person, formerly used widely in Tibet. They sound very much alike.
:-))

Actually, a fowpah is an FAA colloquial flying question segment dealing
with an inquiry scenario as in a young FAA administrator pointing to the
stick in an airplane and asking his pilot father,
"Hey......what's this thing fowpah?"
BAH.DAH.BING!!
