Yeah. I probably will watch for the aviation scenes. Any positivity from the plot is a bonus.

Some of those shots look ridiculous

I really like that they are using 4th gen fighters. I was wondering if they were going to use a plot device to render stealth irrelevant, but they went a much better route.

I love that Val Kilmer will be reprising his role as Iceman.

No shirtless volleyball, for the love of god please no.

Haha! Yeah, I could totally trade out volleyball for a softball game or something.

Because Tom recruited him into Scientology....

Where was he in the trailer? I watched it twice...can't find him...
[Reply]

He wasn't.

Miles Teller has a major role as Gooses son and he’s barely in the trailer as well.

Side note, love that they brought back Harold Faltemyer for this. That score is iconic.

I'm in too....IMAX.

Curious how much of Kilmer we will see. Heard he can't talk.well due to the throat cancer.

Super corny. Same type of scenes where hes racing a plane with his motorcycle, singing in a bar with the comrades, and playing ghey beach shirtless volleyball.

That was a sweet shot with the three F-18s going supersonic in formation

Vapor Cone. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vapor_cone

First scene was an original Hornet retro Close Air move. “Hornet High Pop” nice touch. When we operationally tested the Hornet in the mid 80s,we introduced that tactic to the fleet to reduce ground threat exposure time.

BTW, the Navy failed the Hornet then in Operational evaluation. A7 guys didn’t like that it couldn’t carry as much as far. Tomcat guys saw no point to it for Air to Air. We Marines, flew F4s into the dirt waiting for the multi role Hornet. It’s had a hell of a run and no matter how goofy this movie may be, it’s justice for the jet’s family series to have a feature role for the Navy.

Right. A 60 year old fighter pilot. If he's a classroom instructor, maybe.

Well, its Tom Cruise.
