Top Gun turns 40, so does its scrappy “underdog” alternative, Iron Eagle. A logic-defying premise that somehow totally works thanks to killer aerial photography, a wildly charismatic Louis Gossett Jr., and a cracking soundtrack. Totally forgot he played music in the cockpit 🤣

Have you ever seen an eagle catch 2 fish at the same time? This was a first for me and the eagle seemed just as surprised as I was!!! I guess everyone enjoys a two for one deal! 🤪

Today in 1986, 'Top Gun' opens in American movie theatres. The film isn't just a box office hit — it generates a 500 per cent(!) increase in U.S. Navy flight training applications. (How many stars do you give it?)

Wike actually stood before cameras and said the ADC didn't apply to use the Eagle Square for their National Convention. Meanwhile, his office acknowledged receipt of a letter from the same ADC applying for the use of that same Eagle Square. How can a country have shameless LIARS like these in position of authorities from top to bottom?

March 29, 2024 - Death of Louis Gossett Jr, mostly remembered by us, aviation fans, for his role as Col. Charles "Chappy" Sinclair, in the Iron Eagle series, as seen here. Even though he was a fictional character, he was inspired in the real life Daniel “Chappy” James, who in 1975, made history as the first African American four-star general in the United States Armed Forces. An highly-decorated fighter pilot, he trained pilots in WWII, and flew combat missions in both Korean & Vietnam wars.

A fire is reported at the "Kry Stal" oil depot in Engels, Russia. Local groups say another fuel tank is burning, with smoke covering the city. The plant stores various fuels, including aviation fuel for Engels' military infrastructure and Russia’s long-range aviation. This is the third strike this year.

The reason Top Gun: Maverick was a cultural phenomenon is it managed to do what modern legacy sequels (think Star Wars, Indiana Jones, Terminator) failed at for years. The movie didn't treat Maverick as some infallible god nor does it turn him into a broken loser. He's still stubborn, reckless, but his flaws stem from his grief over Goose, not from some cynical corner of a writer's wet dream of writing Game of Thrones. Maverick earns the respect of the younger pilots by demonstrating supreme skill, acting as their ultimate enabler. The biggest piece of proof this was the goal is in the scene with Ice Man. They didn't recast or write him off screen. They brought in Val Kilmer and integrated his health issues, handling his character with incredible dignity. The conversation between Ice Man and Mav is the emotional anchor to the whole movie. Top Gun: Maverick proves audience don't mind nostalgia bait or passing the torch as long as the characters they grew up loving are treated like they mattered.

“Kiss from a Rose” was written by Seal around 1987 but only became a worldwide phenomenon after its inclusion in the 1995 film Batman Forever. Originally released on his 1994 album Seal II, the song attracted only modest attention before director Joel Schumacher insisted on featuring it during the film's end credits and in its promotional campaign. The renewed exposure propelled the song to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, while it also reached the Top 10 in the UK and several other countries. At the 1996 Grammy Awards, it won Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Best Male Pop Vocal Performance.

Today, in Marrakesh, Morroco, I officially received Nigeria’s Civil Aviation Master Plan (CAMP) from the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) during the opening session of the ICAO Global Implementation Support Symposium (GISS). I was also a special guest at a Ministerial Round Table where I spoke on ‘Future of Aviation Workforce in Nigeria’, highlighting the country’s efforts to address the issue of skills gap within the aviation ecosystem The presentation of the landmark document marks a major milestone in Nigeria’s aviation sector, signaling a bold and structured pathway for the industry’s transformation over the next few decades. The Civil Aviation Master Plan is anchored on globally recognized pillars critical to building a modern, competitive, and resilient aviation sector such as infrastructure and technology development. This includes the modernization of airport infrastructure to accommodate increasing passenger and cargo traffic, alongside the deployment of advanced technologies, including unmanned aerial systems (Drones).

Top Gun flew onto screens 40 years ago today. Few films hit culture this hard, fashion, MTV-era editing, a soundtrack which sold 12 milion copies, made the military look sexy, dialled up American swagger, and launched Tom Cruise into the stratosphere. Time to buzz the tower.

Have you ever had an eagle look you right in the eye? You have now! This might be my favorite bald eagle clip to date. Seeing this bird snatch a Hake fish from a whirlpool at close range was awesome. Glad that I can share it and show you!

The GOAT is back in the cockpit. ✈️🔥 Watching Tom Cruise push the limits in Top Gun: Maverick still hits different. No CGI, just pure G-force and a masterclass in cinema. This is how you do a sequel!

Trump: "Look at the beautiful ballroom and military center. It's a military center. We have a drone port on top. Look at the grass in front of the White House being all replaced with the top stuff. Scotts. You know Scotts? Scotts Miracle Grow. They do great grass. Got to give them a plug."

Tom Cruise on why he wasn't interested in making a sequel to "Top Gun" (1986), which was thought to be a right-wing film promoting the U.S Navy: "Playboy: 'Born on the Fourth of July' (1989) is also the flip side of 'Top Gun' (1986), which is essentially war by Nintendo game and a paean to blind patriotism. Cruise: OK, some people felt that 'Top Gun' was a right-wing film to promote the Navy. And a lot of kids loved it. But I want the kids to know that that’s not the way war is—that 'Top Gun' was just an amusement park ride, a fun film with a PG-13 rating that was not supposed to be reality. That’s why I didn’t go on and make Top Gun II and III and IV and V. That would have been irresponsible. Playboy: Is 'Born on the Fourth of July' a redemption of 'Top Gun'? Cruise: They are two different things. 'Top Gun' is a joy ride and shouldn’t be looked at beyond that. 'Born' is about real people and real events. 'Top Gun' should be looked at as going on Space Mountain—it’s like a simple fairy tale. Playboy: A lot of boys have gone off to war to that kind of drumbeat. That is the history of war—young, callow kids marching off to a fairy-tale glory as in Top Gun. Cruise: Think of that: I am totally responsible for World War Three [laughs]! Come on. Let’s look at the reality of what I am saying—where my beliefs lie. I didn’t have anything riding on 'Top Gun'. The fact is, I really want people to see 'Born on the Fourth of July'—it’s a movie that had to be made." (Tom Cruise's interview to playboy, 1990 taken from Gizmodo) (He did star in a sequel in 2022 - "Top Gun: Maverick" as we all know) P.S: Happy 64th birthday, Tom Cruise!

Easily in my top 10 most favourite films of all time, what a gem. The beauty of this movie is that its validation was never in its box office but in its real life impact on generations that followed ♥️

Candace Owens releases never-before-seen footage of the person on the rooftop during the Charlie Kirk assassination, who does resemble Tyler Robinson and appears to have military training, using a lateral crawl to get into position. The footage shows something very different from what the official footage released by authorities shows. This person on the rooftop has no limp, does not take a gun out of his pants, and does not assemble the gun with a screwdriver.
