About this deal

LT. DOSEN: When I was stationed in Hawaii and Japan, we loved karaoke! Every location seems to have a unique personality; in Texas, we did a lot of two-step line dancing… I’ve definitely acquired an eclectic set of skills. Seriously, does anyone not wear a motorcycle helmet in Fighter Town? Or is this a Tom Cruise thing? COL. RIDER: We’re always competitive, especially during initial training because the aircraft you get assigned to is based on your class rank. Col. Rider caught the original Top Gun when he was in the 9th grade (about 14-15 years old) when it first came out the theatres and what a life-changing experience it was. “My family is from the Air Force, so I already knew I wanted to go to the Air Force Academy, [but] seeing a movie with realistic flying scenes definitely enhanced my desire to become a fighter pilot,” he shared. And for real-life military aviators, that means that whenever they meet civilians — like us — anything that’s remotely linked to the movie will inevitably pop up in the conversation.

COL. RIDER : The Air Force’s version of Top Gun is the Weapons Instructor Course at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada. That’s also where Red Flag [the annual air combat exercise] is based, so the bar there is always fun. All our Parcels have an Authority to Leave – No Signature Required (ATL) on them and they will be left near your front door if safe to do so. If the driver deems your location unsecure they will leave a calling card. Parcels left by Australia Post under their Safe Drop process will have an photo of the location where your parcel has been left. A copy of this photo is available to the receiver via Australia Post’s customer service. Rear Admiral: 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' 'Distinguished.' Yet you can't get a promotion, you won't retire, and despite your best efforts, you refuse to die. You should be at least a two-star admiral by now, if not a senator. Yet here you are: Captain. Why is that? Please do not return anything until we say, as this may prevent us from being able to deal with your request. LT. DOSEN: Female aviators are so badass! Most of my best female friends are also pilots so it is easy to forget just how rare we are but I always celebrate women taking the top spots. The Top Gun class was pretty accurate to real life; it is common to be the only female in a group of men; the last I heard females comprise of less than 10 percent of Navy Pilots and even lower percentages in fighter communities. We conduct an annual Women in Aviation conference and throughout my short 10 years in — wow, time flies! — I have noticed more and more females. I am excited for the day that we will be 50 percent! Fun fact, women naturally have some innate talents which can lead to them being better pilots, like the ability to multi-task.LT. DOSEN: Watching them pre-brief and test out the different ways to complete the mission is something that all pilots will relate to. What most people don’t see is the effort that takes place before the flight even launches and while it’s not always a life-or-death mission like in the movie, I can relate to how things can seem impossible until they are done. Not as much as it used to, but I bet it will a lot more now that the new movie is out,” said Colonel Michael Rider, call sign “Hook”, a 28-year US Air Force veteran and Chief of Office of Defense Cooperation for Singapore with the US Embassy here, COL. RIDER: Appreciation for the difficulty to fly fast at low altitude and pulling Gs. Additionally, there are no barriers to females flying fighters in the US Military.

Everyone loves Top Gun and it is rightly center stage on the world’s view of Naval Aviation, but I am always excited to tell people about the other amazing ways we are able to support operational and diplomatic objectives with all our other aircrafts as well,” Lieutenant Mikaela Dosen, call sign “Dodo” (as in the extinct flightless bird), a US Navy aviator and the Air Operations Officer for the Commander, Logistics Group Western Pacific, supporting the US Navy’s Seventh Fleet in the Pacific. COL. RIDER: The G-induced Loss of Consciousness (GLOC) because I’ve had a few friends who lost their lives due to GLOC. COL. RIDER : We do sing songs in our bars, but generally traditional fighter pilot songs, not the Righteous Brothers. LT. DOSEN: As a Maritime Patrol Plane Pilot, my flying is much tamer than that in Top Gun, I have always been fascinated with the way jets fly within valleys and canyons and how they stay upside down to help provide better visuals and stay close to the walls. In Death Valley, CA, there is a place called Star Wars Canyon — that is an awesome spot to watch them practice in real life.Could be worth considering modifying an SPH-4 rather than an HGU/33 - they're MUCH cheaper and FAR easier to source, and my guess is you'd be less concerned about stripping it, filling, sanding, painting, etc. especially if it has a bit of damage. COL. RIDER: Top Gun is now at Fallon Air Station, no longer Miramar, and no, helmets are mandatory on all military bases for anyone who rides motorcycles.
