Maverick is a humble eldery ex-navy pilot tending to his farm. He uses an ancient decommisioned F-14 to dust his crops. Then one day the aliens land (totally not from Xenu). Queue montage of him re-militarising his F-14 with hidden caches hidden around the farm. "They called me crazy, but I knew they would come for us" Which side he is on is up to the viewer via a button on the cinema armrest.

Maverick got passed over for F-18 transition and became the XO on a small deck amphibious ship, eventually getting courtmartialed for dancing with a female E-2 in a club in Bahrain.

35 years later and MAVERICK is an O-6 having never made the transition to general, and long since removed from any combat position, is manning a procurement office desk in the Pentagon. Meanwhile ICEMAN (overweight with a ponytail and a Hawaiian shirt. I.e. Val Kilmer) is a Program Manager at Northrop Grumman Together they join forces to break all the rules and bring the F14 Tomcat back with a stunning new modernization program. Movie ends with Maverick and Iceman flying off into the sunset to bomb Muslims in their new jet black

Something something secret stealth Iranian nuclear capable f-14, and maverick and iceman are the only ones left that can fly one. They're sent to steal it. Also some failed operation creditable sport style action opener

Top Gun 2 is 40 minutes long. Maverick and his RIO both die when the Tomcat suffers a wing box failure.

I feel the guy who made the IRIAF F-14 did a disservice by not mounting a HAWK missile under the outboard pylons.

Can the hive mind help me put together an airplane nerd road trip? Starting at Louisville, KY on 18/Aug and lasting 5-6 days. Must include the eclipse totality band on the 21st and WP Museum in Dayton at some point. Prefer to drop the hire-car off where I pick it up to save money. Max 5 hours driving per day, preferably split into 2 sessions (so I can drive somewhere, spend a day doing stuff, then drive somewhere else to sleep - otherwise it's drive half a day and spend only half a day doing stuff before it closes at 5pm). Non-airplane stuff that's cool is cool too. The only other airplane thing I can think of is Marshall to see a Saturn V*, and maybe Pensacola, but it's a bit far away. *Not American so can't see the rest of Redstone Arsenal Captain Postal fucked around with this message at 03:01 on May 31, 2017 |

Also, that Japanese F-14 looks really impressive - not only did he mount ASM-2s instead of Sparrows, it looks like he cannibalized an F-2's nose and radome from another kit.

Yeah, I've been to the AF Museum before the new extension and didn't make it to the old hanger 4 (so no valkyrie), so I have to go back and see the rest. I don't want that day to be more than 1 hr driving before getting there so I can be there at opening time  And good idea on making it a weekday. Last time was a weekday and I assumed it was always pretty quiet, but I have no intention to test that theory. That narrows Dayton down to 22nd or 23rd, which gives a bit more structure as to what I can possibly get to

On the subject of museums! I'm planning to visit the Moscow area in late September and would like to get out to the Central Air Force Museum in Monino. But I've been getting conflicting reports about whether it's still open. Some sources are saying it was closed early last year. Others are saying it's still open but may close soon. Knowledgeable goons, is the Monino Musuem still open? And if so, when can it be visited? Bacarruda fucked around with this message at 13:29 on May 31, 2017 |

Those kawaii nekkos are from a big Japanese trade show/hobby expo. The model I'd most like to play with are from a group build of the Nakajima G10N, Japan's Amerika bomber:

Just hit up Wright Patt and try and make it down to Huntsville to see a Saturn V and a space shuttle (template) I think Louisville to Huntsville is out of range technically but 5 hours is still hilariously short in the US. I do hope you already have a room for the eclipse. I think my dad is paying $400/night and booked it a year out.

I don't want that day to be more than 1 hr driving before getting there so I can be there at opening time Chicago is an option, but brutally expensive. I'd strongly consider Detroit. The Henry Ford and Greenfield Villiage https://www.thehenryford.org/visit/henry-ford-museum/ is the best industrial museum in the world in my opinion. There is a fair amount of aviation, but there is a hell of a lot of everything else. Also only 4 hours up the way from Dayton. The Detroit Institute of Art is also worth the day. Plus, there is enough gentrified/hipsterified areas to have a nice beer in, and enough lovely post-industrial wasteland to get your fallout selfies in.

Dual Posting, for Dual Fuselages. http://www.popularmechanics.com/flight/a26715/stratolaunch-rolls-out-of-hangar/ Stratolaunch mothership rollout. Will be the largest winged aircraft ever to fly, assuming it flies. Though I am completely baffled about the use cases for it. I get that when they started the project SpaceX was still blowing up Falcon 1's, and nobody was talking publicly about reusable rockets. But still. "Able to launch 3 pegasus XL's in one mission" That is great. There have been 6 Pegasus XL's flown in the last decade.
