Top Gun 2

“Blue Tornado” was pretty bad. Probably among the worst ones I have seen. As far as I remember it.

The Korean movie “R2B” was surprisingly good. Although not really good.

Obviously “Flight of the Intruder” is the best.

A new trailer perhaps

WOW that is a cool picture

I know this sounds awful, but how can a guy with such heavy dyslexia get a license to fly a heavily instrumented P-51?

I can’t fly because of an ADD diagnosis in my early 20’s, and it’s costing me about $6k to get the clearances. I thought dyslexia was an automatic scratch.

It’s simple, really:

@whareagle, dyslexia is not a disease. And it is not a barrier to becoming a pilot in the US. I believe that the FAA even has procedures for administering the written tests for people suffering from dyslexia. Tom Cruise probably didn’t need money or kittens. He just needed what all would-be pilots need, the discipline to work around one’s limitations.

I am not discounting what you have gone through. I can only imagine how frustrating the condition must be if you are deep enough into the spectrum. Flying is probably easier for dyslexia sufferers than wordier professions like law. If you can read a speedometer in your car, you can probably do the same in a Mustang.

EDIT: Sorry, you have/had ADD, not dyslexia.

I bet the FAA administrator who issued his license thought about Tomcats, though… :wink:

Whelp… At least we know they didn’t drop a bit of the “campy” parts of the previous movie.
I might even like it.

Exactly.
This is one movie that couldn’t possibly live up to it’s predecessor, yet can never fail…
I’m going to love it and I’m going to be 15 all over again.

The roof of the building coming off while the dude stands there is (a proper use of the word) awesome.

Judging by the people and car being rather unaffected, that roof clearly was never attached properly to start with!
