I agree that is a beautiful sight...
but, you haven’t seen anything...
if you have never seen an F-14 Tomcat go screaming by at full throttle!!
The real star of “Top Gun” was the Tomcat, not the other tom...
as a former squid, I have seen some wonderful things...
an F-14 in after-burner and a battleship firing the 16’s.
Both are something you actually feel in the gut.
