Lol nice.

🤣

It had to be after they got rid of the tail gunner. He was enlisted.

That's awesome! I'll try to find it

And that one guy with his toes! LMAO!!!

Yeah that part was funny as hell.

It would have been even better if they had an Asian American pilot who couldn't twirl his pencil!

The guy twirling a whiteboard marker had me laughing.

Right? 😜😂

nothing like chipping dirt and crud out of anchor points on a hot day

Hehe, even forgotten tools.

OMG I was laughing hysterically at that part because it was so Outrageous. It was the funniest part of the movie for me.

That was pretty funny!

That was hard to watch!

We appreciate your honestly. Want to report to the infirmary?

Hi, Lydia! Your dad's sense of humor and humbleness carried the day with this. He was a great man.

@@WardCarroll Thanks! My sisters and I love to hear about him.

Bringing people together like this and preserving memories is the pinnacle of KZfaq. ❤️ From a stranger

Real Pilots Terrible actors LOL Got it though

Lydia it's amazing you got to see this. If it won't cause any problems be sure to show it to the rest of your family. When I was a medic in the US ARMY, I got on the military television network several times. My kids did get to see a couple of them. I always wanted to get a copy of them, but when I would get home I always forgot to get the copies. I'm so sorry you lost him. But from my POV I think he would want you to show this to his family and friends.

@Avi Tech, Yes , that orange getting tossed into the intake and kicking the tools and loose parts into the pad-eyes during a FOD walk, was classic!!! I was a Marine working on Helo's !!!! 6142... MCAS ElToro.... '82-86.... Semper Fi Brother!!!

It was horrifying and not funny. One night chasing a tool till sun up will cure you.

Actually it bothered me too, I almost needed to see them take it out before I carried on.

Aw man, the FOD walk down kicking debris into the padeyes and the orange in the intake were the funniest parts.

I'm surprised they even allowed them to throw an orange in that intake. Even for fun...

Thanks, Helen!

Was the guy that played nimrod really your dad?

@@pamelakelly3441 The last name doesn't give it away? :)

@@helenvongohren6597you’re pretty hot! If you wanna hang out sometime let me know 🥰 I always like my girls a little bit older

@@pamelakelly3441is your name a Tom Clancy “Without Remorse” reference?

Yes, the 80's chief gut. Brings back memories.

I can finally relate with the dad bods!

And the hand propping it. LOL

Ex F4 Crew Chief here. Inside, I was screaming, even louder than the intro, when he was kicking trash into the grounding points

Did anyone notice that the bicycle had a flat rear tire.

I evidently don't get the deeper joke, but the casual toss straight into the intake sent me into spirals of laughter

​@@dickieadcockOMG 😂 I wasn't going to say it but YES!! the front one was low also😅😂

It's definitely not Point Loma.

And working on that Ford Capri. . . It's constant! ;-)

Yes!! 😂😂 I thought the same thing.

Not a single nail was picked up that day.

"Oh, Whatever."

Exactly,I want more! POP GUN the sequel :)

Yep. You nailed it.

Yeah. If I hadn't watched the intro I would've thought it was a Marine unit.

I agree, Top Gun was horribly written and poorly acted!😁🤣

Like watching a train wreck, but you couldn't look away. Lol.

Not so, cause after we had to respond to the Challenger disaster at Patrick AFB, a few of us made " Mr Bill Goes To Space" based on the Saturday Night Live charachter, and he gets blown up six ways from Sunday, Spot gets fried at the launch, and Mr Sluggo has to hit the self destruct....leading to more black humor. I have the last VHS copy of the endeavor from 1986. Nothing wrong with satire....the whole miltary is a joke these days, so why not?

Now I know why our PD was "a vast pool of untapped creativity"**. The majority were ex-military who had too much free time in (insert favorite branch) to plot pranks and other shenanigans. **an original LuvBC quote

@@drewpooters62 NASA's mistake was giving names to their space shuttles.

@@dahawk8574 Well, it sure beat, " Cost Overrun", " Spare Parts", and " Lowest Bidder" fir names, right?

I probably should have explained to those who aren't familiar with the Farm Animal joke. You're not supposed to name them, because you get too attached. When you know what's going to happen to them. @@drewpooters62 Yeah, the shovel loads of cash that got put into the Shuttle Program was obscene. And Elon Musk has severely embarrassed NASA to show what you can do with a space program that has actual incentive to improve the way things are done. That said, The Space Shuttle was outrageously spectacular for what it did, when it did it. And a strong argument can be made for justifying the cost, with it's main goal in its last decade of building the ISS, in that while the science that has come out of ISS can in no way justify the Billions of $, just the overhead example of nations working together in cooperation instead of being poised to blow up the planet has an intangible value that cannot be put into dollars and cents. Others try to justify the cost of shuttle because of other missions like Hubble Deploy and Hubble Repair, but they ignore that it would have been MUCH cheaper to just launch replacements, like the NRO does, rather than going back up to fix it. Your effort at Patrick must have been brutal. The design decision to not give them any means of escape was unconscionable. No one was ever held accountable for that.

I was thinking that might have made him happy. Guy I went to high school with, Brian Great student was going to be a cop. Last lap of the physical, boom heart attack. He asked why he was sleepy.

Also his daughters got to see it!

I just wasted 20 bucks at a theater, I should have just watched this. It's obviously the better movie.

Yaaasss!

@@WardCarroll we need it now

One time at open ranks inspection a Master Sargent was walking up and down the ranks and giving out a line of ate-up military B.S. as he did so. A guy in the back ranks coughed out "Bull SH" Sargent says, "Who was that? Identify yourself immediately!" Guy in back says, "I'm not stupid."

@@rael5469 lmaoo

That and the excellent fod walk in the beginning......

@@bigd6709 For real! Ha HA!

Yeah me too!

Dammit...now I have to watch it AGAIN. I'm not happy with you.

That upset me, too. And having been an Aircrewman, it is comforting to know that you guys in Maintenance cared about the aircraft as much as we did. I remember too well participating in searches for a lost tool. And there were a lot of places to look in a big aircraft like the P-3.

Ill second that!!!

@@wheels-n-tires1846 The 80's was the best decade of my life. I was working as a civilian in ISR. The Army treated me great because their was no housing in the civilian economy so I was put in the BOQ. I knew every bugle call from revellile to la rapelle before taps. Also all the flights I had to make SPACE A because where I was there was only one plane (civilian) in the morning and another outbound in the evening plus being put up in the BOQ, and an officers club card under my door one morning. The most important thing I learned was if I was TDY on ITO to a Naval Base, eat in the BOQ, if it was an AFB, find the NCO club to eat in, and if it was an Army Garrison, find the closest McDonald's. The commendations and medal I was given was worth more than all the money in the world, but the coolest thing was the letter of commendation that was sent by the Agency's Director to my parents rather than to me commending me on my work ethic, patriotism, etc. Framed in solid walnut and blue cutout border within a gold plated glass holder at government expense. Hangs in my private office now, where no one can see it.

Tell me about it 😀

Those 80's porno mustaches... style.

The card catalog... talk about throwback... Dr Seuss approved.

Housing and car ranks high on reality scale

LOL What's up Bryant?

No Time for Sergeants

12 days of Christmas by the JFK crew

Yeah, especially that mumbly ASMR song by the end... ahem...

The intro with FOD had me rolling. Haven't laughed that hard in a couple years. 🤣

yeah I laughed when he swept all the FOD into the padeyes.

I loved the part about the Deck cleaner/ clearing of anything that planes might hit/ suck up. The people on board that walked those decks of US carriers. Can not say enough about how important that job was. Thank you for service. I went in Army in 75. Lots of are Drill Sergeant's That served in Vietnam. Boy when I got back home after Basic, my Army was NG. The guys that still had a year or two left. Because they went in Guard, to avoid the Draft.( Oblegy's) They were a Unhappy bunch. Very hard to work with. They just wanted out. My 6 years were fun on a tug boat ( ST) enjoy watching the LCM-8s Smoke heavily, as they cruised along. One time a guy water skied behind a LCM. I could not believe it. Those were Fun years for me.

I love man from LOX, there is an Air Force one about gun safety that makes the entire branch look like a bunch of mouth breathing retards. I will have to find Tough Sledding.

All that money on defence and still only the 2nd best navy in the world

​@jjsmallpiece9234 what's the first?

The boys in W/C 130 must have been grinding their teeth!

Oh "Junior Officers", I had initially interpreted that differently. ;)

and the planes. They actually had Mig-29.

True, true!

REALLY, and that's the best thing you could say about ... Never mind.

That mig-29 was "stolen" from Chinese or was it that one? Or it could be one that was fallen and sunk, but still so good shape that it was possible to rescue and give hands of test pilots after fix. I think that plane still is somewhere like museum. Mig's were always interesting things (toys) for Americans and that's good. North Korea took that one vessel at seventies or eighties and it's still on show and well keeped, looks like it is painted like every year :p I don't remember what is that ship name. They are still proud as hell from catching it.

@@jannejohansson3383 I meant the model on a stick pretending to be an enemy fighter coming from behind through the canopy.

I saw Spinal Tap live at the Albert Hall. I think they were real, but then again I was a bit drunk.

Gonna be a little difficult to get Tony Scott's eyes on this...

RIP Tony Scott too. We still got big brother Ridley. Maybe an Alien/Top Gun cross over spoof?

Everyday was a STRIPES movie in the USArmy when I was in - "Aaaaarmy training, Saaaaar!" But, we didn't get cool toys like the Combat Winnebego...

I was dying when he threw it.

Just like PRT 1.5 mile runs…… START SLOW & TAPER OFF.

That was a Mig29 simulator the Navy paid a million dollars for. That’s 1986 dollars!

He must’ve got a DUI!

They are still around. Iran is still operating theirs. They have Iranian radar and Iranian missiles which may or may not be as good as the originals, but they are still seen in the region occasionally.

I liked the half-flat rear tire on the bike and figure that it "fit" the character. ;)

“Maybe we’ll get the F110s.”

true story: after landing but prior to shut down f-4 rio left his box lunch on the glare shield, leaning against the canopy. pilot opened the canopy. box lunch fell & got sucked into #2 engine. almost all contents got blown through the compressor section except the can opener & empty juice can. fod damage. engine change.

Hahahahaha... that was funny

Pratt & Whitney: “Uh…. What the f*ck are you doing???

Can someone explain what FOD is an acronym for please?

totally agreed, someone needs to share this to Tom Cruise

That card catalog got me, too.

Anyone that ever was in the Navy knows the Chiefs were all sitting in the Chief's quarters telling Sea Stories and drinking coffee.

@@jimclark7125 Can't tell all our secrets, Jim. Our messcooks know the truth but are sworn to secrecy and well paid to keep their mouths shut..
