This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

As a fellow aviation nerd, what do you think about Top Gun? Or the sequel?

I haven't seen the sequel, but the original was filmed in actual F14 aircraft, so I'd be amazed if the cockpit layout was wrong.

TBH my take on it is that they pretend fighters are still doing the same thing as in WWII or maybe Korea, just with missiles. No BVR or anything. There is this Indian short that was more tense for me than the whole of Top Gun and it feels so much closer to the real thing.

That said, I don't like Tom Cruise because of his slavery side gig and IDK jack about Indian-Pakistani relations, so take it with that in mind.
