Good timing. Just in time for the Top Gun re-make. A SH just won't do as Maverick's new steed. Wouldn't Mav be an admiral or retired by now?

This is a killa:

"Some 24 years have passed since Top Gun hit theaters and Scott has plans for Top Gun 2 to examine the changes that have occurred in the U.S. Air Force since."

So maybe it will be about USAF Trailer Pilots? (see first URL) :twisted:

I think he may have let the cat out of the bag.. the script probably calls for Maverick to switch services so he can fly the F-22, a much cooler jet.
