The new Top Gun Maverick movie is amazing. If you want to burn some bucks you won't be disappointed.

I can count on one hand how many I see at the theater every ten years. This one is one of them.

I never go to the movies and rarely watch anything other than the golf channel, Yellowstone, etc. Lol. My kids barely got me to watch Breaking Bad last year. Top Gun Maverick is great. Highly recommend.

I heard. The non-china version is better anyway.

Also, more of a Mission Impossible style than a TopGun style………. accept for the 2:15 simulator.
Penn surprised me when he came back from Ukraine. My ideology welcomes converts.

Only if you’re going to see the “made for China version”.

As I am reading about the movie (I'll go see it in a couple weeks) I am reminded of callsigns I knew of in the Navy. In almost every case, a callsign was given or earned, not chosen.
Here are a few that I remember.
Flossy. I asked her how she got her CS; she told me, as she walked away, 'If you are looking at the right part of my anatomy, there is only floss there'. Yes, it was nicely shaped.
Taint. Good dude, very good pilot
Dozer. Could sleep anywhere.
Master. Given to everyone with the last name of Bates
Tingles. Grabbed the ends of bare 110v wires.
Iron Ball. He could fuccck up an iron ball.
Chunky. Barfed in the toilet of a C-130
ass mapper. He was a smart guy. Developed a better seat for helo pilots/aircrew by mapping heat stress points during a number of flights. He didn't like the call sign and asked me what to do (I was his boss at the time). I told him to shut up and it might go away. He didn't shut up, and it stuck. Azzzz Mapper. When he told people he preferred 'Danger Dan'. Nearly everyone chanted 'asssss mapper'.
horse whisperer....he was a farm kid and made the mistake of posting a picture of him cleaning the sheath of one of his ranch studs.
Rick....looked just like Rick Astley
BOFAR. Big, old, fat azzsed Reeves.
P-rick. Fell into some cactus on a detachment to MCAS Yuma.
Radio....given to a black dude who complained it was racist. That started the ball rolling towards socially acceptable call signs. He left the Navy in 2017 and went to work flying for a commercial group.
Beads.... He sweated all the details. Good pilot and good boss.
Dirty... His last name was Sanchez
Shocker.... She had beautiful red hair. Strawberry Headed Ovulating Commie KillER.
Wacker.....he got caught.
FISH....fuk is she huge. Tall girl, SH-60 pilot.
I almost forgot this one.
Squt. She was another sharp kid. Was giving a lecture about land survival to some F-14 crew. She started talking about trapping and snares and water supply. She then asked this question: "would it be better to trap a squirrel with a snare, or, follow him back to his nest and eat his nuts?"
The room erupted in laughter and she turned beet red.
Here is a pretty good list. https://www.f-16.net/callsigns-B.html
