    Well, that blows. We were just getting back in the habit of hitting a movie about once a week, gonna run out of stuff to watch.

    Given how they're trying to bend the knee to China in it, I couldn't care less.

    For his level of career, I estimated his age should be 32ish LT during [fictional year] 83-84. ON fictional year 2020-2021, he is Captain o-5 and age of 70ish (32+ (2021-1983))?
    Unless, movie Topgun is based on year back to 2001, it would be kinda silly.


    Meanwhile, you can watch those cheaply made Chinese Propaganda Airforce/Airplane movies which occupies Afghanistan.

    Nah, he should be a relatively junior LT in the original movie, around 27 or 28. 36 years later, he'd be a retired CAPT (O-6, not O-5) and roughly 63-64. Of course military retirement is not retirement so he's probably on contract to the school as an instructor. Even that's not enough to explain the wealth in his man-cave hangar but it helps.

    You noticed that too? How does this military pilot have the bank to buy and maintain a P-51?

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    my pure guess is he loves that F-5E or F-14 Tom-Gato so much that he bought bunch of his lifesaving into Northrop Grumman at around 1983. Cash out few % of it, and bought that thing.
