The opening segway with Dean Jagger from the present into the past and the
closing segway returning again to the present are in my opinion some of the
finest creative film work ever shot.


I didn't know that rode Segway's back then! :-)

A smooth, uninterrupted transition from one thing to another is a segue.
A Segway is a self-balancing, two-wheeled personal transportation device.
They sound very much alike.

The music and flight sequences are by far the best of any aviation
movie ever made. The plot is...enough to keep the women interested.
(The volleyball scene never fails to get the women worked up...)


Man, if there EVER was a case for a guy just taking his shirt off, hitting
the damn ball and keeping his mouth shut to attract women it's ole Tom
Cruise!! :-))

It uses the same electronic stabilization of a dynamically unstable
system strategy as is used on the F-16.

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?"
