First movie except for the flying scenes was pretty lame. Maverick would have been kicked out of flying long before he even got close to a F14. Story line was horrible. Even real Navy pilots thought it was terrible.

Pilots. And it's obvious you aren't one.

Really?  Ft Rucker will be renamed Fort Novosel.  If you knew him you'd agree.  If you didn't you haven't been doing your homework.

The difference between you and Navy Fighter pilots is they don't wish they could fly helicopters. Navy helicopter pilots were wash outs like Army pilots but with a degree.

up a Cobra crew one night from a road SW of Phuoc Vinh, VN after they got shot down.  The AC voluntarily swore he'd never make a bad claim against Huey pilots again. Cracked me up.  Told him that was ok cuz I flew snakes my first tour and didn't believe him.  Flying slicks in VN was a far more diverse, delicate and difficult life than guns, far more productive too.

Navy fighter pilots?  To each his own.  Never developed that interest.  Stay happy.

When ya need a ride outah hell it'll be in a helicopter and I bet the pilots don't care who you are or what you think of them, they do it anyway.  Always did, always will!  

Perspective helps.

but as a recruiting tool it far exceeded all expectations, if the Navy even had any at the time.
