    ...The Navy was just as eagerly involved in Top Gun as NASCAR was in Top Gun II... er, I mean Days of Thunder.
    Yeah, it is definitely "All Tom all the time" no matter what movie he is in. As we used to say in the squadron, "We'll just call him ONE WAY."

    And to be clear, ego maniacal TC should not be confused with even your average Navy and Marine Corps Nasal Radiator/Naval Flight Officer. They are a completely different breed, hot shots exuding confidence because they have been through the wringer, shown real skill, have been tested and tried, and are the best damn aviators in the world.

    I'd like to see TC do something that is REALLY hard. Somehow looking cool, letting the stunt men do the hard things, and pulling in the mega bucks just doesn't cut it.

    Ok, I'm off the soap box. Phew! It is really high up there...:bwgr:

    He is an actor, not a fighter pilot. It's not that I particularly like him or have some vested interest in his future, but put it in perspective.
