Thank you. So Cruise flew IN the aircraft but did not FLY the aircraft.
Correct. 2 seat F18.
I haven’t seen nor am interested in seeing the movie. By the Any in-flight shots of a single seat F18, with the pilot wearing TC’s helmet, was not TC.
My next door neighbor (1/4 mi thru the woods) is 89 and flew hueys in VN. Was shot down once. He has shown me pics. A very humble, God-fearing man. TC is not worthy to tie his shoes.
