Thanks to you as well.

I always liked hearing his stories as a kid.
He retired in the late 80s and was part of the Bicentennial celebration in NYC. I don't remember alot about that but I believe the navy was heavily involved?
I left F-14 school and San Diego July 3. I wasn't even a Pukin' Puppy yet.

Did you go thru boot camp there?
That's where my pops went and then got stationed in Jacksonville. He did 2 tours during Vietnam on carriers.

Me too .... the best Doc Holliday ever
I'll be your huckleberry. Best part of the movie was when he told Wyatt he couldn't beat Johnny Ringo.

"Poor soul, just a little high strung." Top 5 movie.

Boot camp in Great Lakes, A school in Memphis, F-14 school in San Diego ... learned the most from the guys in my shop.

Where the heck was Slider, Hollywood, Wolfman, Merlin, and Sundown?

Viper and Jester would have retired. Striker would been dead or gone back to teach as Principal Strikland...lol

Hollywood and Wolfman were awful and got shot down or put in lock the entire movie.

Cougar should have had a cameo or something.

Cougar wouldn’t have a cameo because he turned in his wings. What part would he have played later?

It was 36 years later, those guys are retired as well.

Cougar could have been working with Maverick in the plane restoration business or something...lol

The other guys could have worked their way up or been associated with Top Gun in some manner.

That being said, Hollywood and Wolfman were terrible so they might have been cashiere out of the Navy...lol

Maverick was not in the plane restoration business. He was a test pilot for the Navy, likely in Yuma or some equally remote area. When Mav was fixing the airplane, he was doing it as a hobby.

36 years is a very, very long career. It would have been more far-fetched to have that many pilots working in some capacity with such a small outfit than the crap that Gen 5 was doing.

5 on 2…you will lose…unless you are Mav

I get that....just spit balling ideas how they could have incorporated the old pilots in the film. There simply might not have been any interest by the actors.

SF has very good LB'ers. Just saying.
I think one thing to note this in this game tonight is how Shanahan attacked Parsons. That kid never knew where it was coming from next ..... total domination for SF.

1) bench leno and charles and gates and put in lucas , paul and stromberg . leno is a matador , charles doesnt play hard and gates is not getting it done

2) on defense i bench barton and insert hudson . everytime hudson has gotten defensive snaps he has produced

3) bring in a new kicker

4) put BSJ on the outside and put stick figure in as the #5 DB . put quan or DJ in the slot

5) get mathis some snaps

6) develop Howell more and give him a running game
You want to bench Leno, how about Wylie hasn’t he been a liability?

What does it matter what I want, what matters is what the Harris group wants.
