You've always been my Fourth of July hero... but you knew that. I have friends who've seen Top Gun in one of those Cinemax theaters and I have to admit that I'd prefer to watch it on a flat screen, as some of the flight scenes made me dizzy enough!

I too was compelled to watch the movie in part because of the Taiwanese flag bit. Thanks to Tom Cruise for this feel good movie. BTW, what happens to pregnant aviators when they eject at high speeds and g-forces. Happy Independence Day to all.

Hi Jim

Thanks for your service from an Army guy, same period! Hard to believe that I was serving you popcorn at Montecito Video when the first Top Gun showed! Saw the sequel at theater in Coronado last week, where some of the movie was shot! This Top Gun had it all, suspense, romance, action, and plenty of proud Americans. So good, I’ll see it again!

Happy 4th!

Dana

Yes, but are pregnant trans military people represented in it?
